    Start Menu (Right side) Broken Link (Pictures) VISTA

    I recently discovered that when I go to my start menu, on the right side, of
    vista, the Pictures link will not work anymore. All of the other links
    (documents, music, games) work with no problem.
    When I right click on the pictures link it only comes up with copy, rename,
    and properties. Where as, all of the other links have many more options.
    That being said, when I click on the properties in the Pictures I only get
    the "General" tab and it is completely blank and I can't input any info.
    there.
    Also, when I go to customize my start menu all of the other folders, etc.
    are there to hide/show etc., but the pictures portion is no where to be found.
    Any help with this situation would be greatly appreciated.
    Of course, I have put a shortcut for my pics on my desktop so that I can
    easily get to them, but I would like to rectify the problem that I am having,
    so that hopefully it won't happen again
    Thanks in advance

    Hi Roger,

    Check to make sure that your "C:\Users\(User Name)\Pictures" folder has
    the correct default location set for it in the registry. It should be
    "%USERPROFILE%\Pictures" (no quotes). This tutorial will show you how
    to.

    Hope this helps,

    Thanks Brink,
    You you right on the money. Worked the first time after
    fixing. It was a little thing that kept bugging me. Now, I can live my
    computer life in peace (for now)
    Take Care

    Nothing happens when you click on a shell folder link in the Windows Vista
    Start menu:
