i figured this should go in the customizing area more than anywhere else, so here goes...

is there any way to create a new folder in the location shown below (ph33r my awesome mspaint skills) ? i'd love to add a "My Movies" folder in there, but i can't find a way to do it. i created the "my downloads" folder by simply renaming the "my pictures" folder and changing it's path/directory, but there aren't any other folders i can alter in that manner.

is this possible? if so, can someone help me out?

yep yep there is a way. you have to sacrifice a folder. What you do is change a registry setting for a folder that normally shows up to something else. additionally the icon for the folder that changed to will show up instead of the one that was there previously. I think you can show My Pictures on the start menu there so you can change that and not mess anything up already there. so you willing to sacrifice a folder.

If so tell me and I will tell you how :)

I'll just go ahead and show you :)

to do this:

startmenu.jpg

open up regedit by typing regedit in the run dialog and once in regedit go here: here.jpg

once there it should look like this:

change.jpg

look at the the entry for my pictures. just change that to whatever folder you want, add the my pictures link to the start menu through the normla windows advanced configuration dialogue, then restart your computer. :)
