My Music Icon (from start menu) goes to wrong folder

[Guest]

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.general (More info?)

Hey guys, I'm new here, and have done some searching to see if this has
been covered, but haven't found anything, and was hoping for some
help.

I have windows XP SP2 and on my start menu I have a folder for "my
music" which should go to

C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\My Documents\My Music

but instead is going to

C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Documents\My Music

I think this happened when I attempted to make my "my music" folder
available to the guest account, and accidentally moved the files, then
had to move them back. The problem is, I don't know how to change this
back to what it should be. There is no option from the properties menu.
I figure I may have to get in to the registry to set this back to
normal. Problem is, I don't know where in the registry to find this
setting. Can anybody help?

Start Regedit.exe and navigate to:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User
Shell Folders]

In the right-pane, fix the path for "My Music"
