Start Menu "Mounting"
Well, I noticed on Vista that there are tabs for "Documents", "Pictures", "and Music". However, I also noticed that the links go to "C:\Users\username\DPM", where DPM represents either documents pictures or music. Well, I recently moved my files over to "D:\DPM". Is there any way that I can mount those links on the start menu?

If you try to relocate system folders like that without changing their locations in the registry, the system will not recognize them. All programs looking for the original folders will still look in the original locations.

Many tweaking programs will help make the necessary registry changes for relocating those folders so that programs can still find them. Vista Manager, TweakVista, and so on, are examples.

What programs would need those? Is there a way to remount different links to the start menu? If so, how?
