I've relocated my Favorites folder to my Files folder, which is my Personal
folder, which is located on my E: drive so that I can backup my Favorites in
case I have to format my C: drive. However, I have not been successful in
relocating My Pictures to G:\IMG where all my images are kept.

I've modified My Pictures in
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders,
and in HKCU\Same Path, yet when I go to Insert a picture from file in an
Office Application(Office 2002) it opens to Sample Pictures which is in My
Files folder on E:. I modified the Sample Pictures shortcut so that I can
click it and go to G:\img, but I would like it to have Insert picture from
file open in G:\IMG.

What do I need to do?

Thank you


Brian

Brian,

Right-Click-Drag-and-Drop "My Pictures" folder to desired destination, then click | Move |
 
To change the location of a variety of common folder in Windows, use
Tweakui. I just relocated My Pictures to the location I wanted using Tweakui
for XP.
