How do I make 'My Music' shortcut in XP go to diff folder?

SniperXX · Mar 27, 2004

I want the My Music icon on the Windows XP taskbar to link to another folder. Say D:/MUSIC as an example. So when I click the icon on the start menu it will open D:/MUSIC. I am running Windows XP Pro. I searched for all the registry keys called My Music in my registry and changed the ones I could swear were it, but it still doesnt show the other folder. Thanks.

2- press right click

3- click on ( properties )

4- do like attach ... then apply (it will ask you to move all files from the old one .. )

what AlMalki did was change everything in My Documents to be on the seperate drive, what you want to do is change just one folder in my documents, which i'm not sure you can do as xp wants everything in my documents to be on the same drive. what i would do is make a shortcut of the D:\Music folder, put all your music files there, rename it to my music and use that shortcut instead.
