Change the Location of Special Folders
Tweak allows changing the location of special folders on the system. Any of the folders listed in the registry key may be moved.
Registry editing must be done carefully taking a backup is adviced[COLOR=red]

CODE
[Start]  >> [Run] >> [Regedit]

Registry Key: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\UserShell Folders
Modify/Create the Value Name [Various Folder Names] according to the Value Data listed below.
Data Type: REG_SZ [String Value] // Value Name: Consult RegEdit for Folder Names
Value Data: [Move the folder to the new desired location using explorer, and then edit the matching folder in RegEdit to reflect the new folder location]
Exit Registry and Reboot

This tweak can be used for changing the location of the my documents and my pictures folder
You may think that what the need for this is
Consider you are re installing windows
You will surely need to save all the data into a secure place if you do this that can be avoided easily

umm,modify regedit is hard and dangerous...if you want to change the picture of any windows files or drive ico.you could creat a hiden autorun.ini file in the folder which you wanna change its looks.
the autorun.ini includes:
CODE

[autorun]
icon=*.ico //* is the name you can select icon for the folder


certainlly you could also use the system ico is ok like "shell32.dll,32" to instead *.ico
