Well that sucks, I always keep music in a separate partition.

Ok, used TweakUI to edit the location of "My Music"

Here is the registry entry for "F:\My Music"

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders]
"My Music"=hex(2):46,00,3a,00,5c,00,4d,00,79,00,20,00,4d,00,75,00,73,00,69,00,\
  63,00,00,00

Now I guess since you know more than me, this will give you a place to start and change it to whatever drive letter you use.

thanks geckotek.. must be that the reg key's added when wmp is installed by setup.. you can tell by gosh's post above.. thanks for that.. i suppose you could do the whole tweak through a reg file theres no need to use an inf.. although if your using the inf to redirect your folders just add the my music folder redirection to it

I don't think WMP added it. It wasn't there when I looked before. TweakUI added it.

Next install I'll just try adding it to the folders.inf and see what happens.

Hi,

what happens if instead of changing these key in HKCU root, I'll change them in HKLM, will they affect default user with no problem?
