Moving folders like "My Pictures"

I would like to know how to move a folder like "My Pictures" or even the
whole "My Documents" file structure to my "D" drive which is a physically
different disk than the disk with my OS (the normal C drive). Could someone
tell me how to do that and still have Windows XT know where to look for
these special folders? Your help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Jim,

Relocating the My Documents, will relocate it's sub-folders as well (My
Pictures, My Music etc).

Change the Default Location of the My Documents Folder
