Folders from Start Menu not functioning correctly

I ran into this little snag when trying to access these folders from
Start Menu:
My Computer
My Videos
My Music
My Games (link from desktop)
Control Panel

The snag is that instead of "exploring" said folders and showing an
explorer window with its content, they open to My Documents.

I have no idea how to fix this, and using TweakUI didnt really do
anything to help.

Thanks,

Not sure what you are refering too. Everything that starts with a "My" is
located in My Documents. But if your looking for a new way to access certain
files within each folder try this:

Right click the taskbar and go to "Properties". Go to the "Start Menu" tab.
Go to "Customize". Go to "Advanced" tab. Then enable the items you want to
modify as a menu.

Hope this helps

OK, let me make it clearer.


When clicking on My Pictures, i should see the contents of My Pictures
When clicking on My Videos, i should see the contents of My Videos
When clicking on My Music, i should see the contents of My Music
When clicking on Control Panel, i should see the contents of Control
Panel

This does not happen. Instead:

When clicking on My Pictures, i see the contents of My Documents
When clicking on My Videos, i see the contents of My Documents
When clicking on My Music, i see the contents of My Documents
When clicking on Control Panel, i see the contents of My Documents
 
I also ran into another issue that I think is related.

I just tried to bring up my E drive (CD-RW) in run...

Start---> Run
*typing* e:\

Window pops up with my documents displayed, not contents of CD drive
Upon further exploration, i discovered that even typing in a full path
will result in bringing up an explorer window of MY DOCUMENTS. For
example:

run: C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\My Documents\My Music
returns
My Documents
 
Back
