Ian,

Relocating the MY Documents folder using this method, will relocate the
sub-folders (My Pictures, My Music) as well:

If you want to selectively redirect My Pictures and My Music folder, you can
do it by "moving" the folder using a Cut - Paste operation.

Alternately, using Tweak UI.
TweakUI v2.10 for Windows XP SP1/XP MCE/2003 [147 KB].
