My Pictures is placed in the My Documents folder by default.

In explorer move the My Pictures folder to whatever place you want and the shortcut under Start Menu will reflect your changes too.

For anyone following on you must cut and paste the My Pics folder otherwise the link remains the same.

Adjusting the registry as suggested in another forum (Tweakxp) also has no affect.

Thanks for the help anyway
