Using Folder Redirection for My Documents

My Pictures can be directed elsewhere through the GPO provided for
redirecting My Documents - you'll have to create a new GPO as this setting is
only available when you first create it - afterwards it's greyed out.

My Music is not included - it came about after GP was set for XP (it is
available for Vista). Currently the only option I'm aware of is to create a
custom ADM to change the registry setting for it's location. I've had mixed
success with this and suspect the problems are related to the docs having
been previously redirected.

You can prevent the saving of file types to a folder - prevent *.mp3 from
being saved to the home directories folder. It won't get rid of the current
but will prevent new. A less extreme measure would be to set a limit on the
user's home directory and instruct them to remove mp3 files when they hit it.
