try this

Select a folder from the drop-down list box.
in the edit box you can see current path for the selected item.Type the new path in the edit box, click Apply To relocate the special folder. You can backup the existing configuration to a file.this utility does not move the files to the new location (redirected path). It has to be done manually.

To restore the default path for the chosen shell folder, click the Restore Default button once.
