How to change your default pictures folder in Vista ?

Keeping all your pictures organized in one central location is a very good practice, as it allows for easy backups and searches. Most users use the default Pictures folder (C:\Users\<your_user_name>\Pictures) to store their stuff, but this is certainly not a must, as the default pictures folder location can be easily changed.

Here�s how to do it:

• Create a new folder that will be used to store your pictures (skip this step if you would like to use an existing folder).
• Navigate to your default Pictures folder .
• Open the Pictures folder and copy its content to the new Pictures directory you just created.
• Right Click the Pictures folder and click Properties.
• Navigate to the Shortcut tab.
• In the Target filed, specify the location of your new pictures folder.

• Click OK.
