So, I bought a new hard drive, and created a "My Music" folder on the new drive. However, in my Start menu, I can't change the path of the "My Music" shortcut to the new folder. Is there a way to do this? A registry setting perhaps?

as far as I know the only links you can display there are for...

Control Panel.
My Computer
My Documents
My Music.
My Pictures
Network Connections.

I don't of any way of changing the link for My Music.

It's weird though, when I navigate to that area of the registry, there's no string for My Music. WTF?

Try searching the registry for it?

How would I do that? Shouldn't it be where the rest of the folders are, like My Documents, etc. I see those, just no My Music.

Are you using regedit? Isn't there a "Find" right at the top of the program?

Yeah, I did a search and still no string for the My Music folder. Bizarre.
