AntiKris Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 (edited) Hey guys, Well, I just finished installing Vista Home Premium, and all went pretty well... Of course, I relocated my documents and picture links on the start menu to a different drive. That went pretty okay. Then I got rid of the old hard drive, which had several partitions. To make everything nice and tidy, I rearranged the drive letters, merrily ignoring any warnings about potential problems. Now, as a result, on my start menu (the new Vista, non-classic one) the Documents and Pictures buttons don't do... anything. A right-click gives me the option to copy, rename, or go into properties. Properties, unforuntately yields nothing as well--it opens up, but there are no properties to speak of. I tried typing in the proper location, but apparently the information doesn't stick. It bears noting that the Games and Music buttons render all the normal open/explore/search, etc... on a right-click. Somehow the Doc and Pics folders have become different types of links. So... first of all, I need to know how to even put a dent in these links, and secondly, if it's not obvious after the first step, how to get them to do *anything*, much less point to the proper locations. Is there a folder buried in the system files that I can access to fix this, or perhaps within the registry?Regardless... please, help!!!Chris Edited February 28, 2007 by AntiKris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AntiKris Posted March 4, 2007 Author Share Posted March 4, 2007 Well, I figured it out for myself.I tried reinstalling the OS as an upgrade, which... didn't do anything.I don't know why it occurred to me afterwards, but I then created the partition letters that I had deleted, and voila!, I had access to my start menu docs and pictures. After that, it was simply a matter of editing the location. Then I could nuke those partitions again.Hope this helps anyone else with this problem.
