IIRC you go into your profile bit on the C:\ drive then it'll have a list of things like my pics, music and documents. You right click on that icon and do it, not the icon on the desktop.

click your name on the top right of the start menu. that opens your profile folder. you then need to change the location of each folder inside separately...

pictures
music
documents
videos
downloads
etc
