While moving files off one hard drive to the new Windows Ultimate install,
somehow I have managed to duplicate all the folders under my user account
(Michael) within the Pictures Folder. I also have second Pictures folder
(plain looking yellow icon) that has just my pictures. I want to get the
duplicates out of the Pictures Folder (i.e., Desktop or Documents, etc) so
they only show up once under my User Account Name and get the pictures into
the correct Pictures folder. I checked in the registry and under Current
User, Software, Microsoft, Windows, Current Version, Explorer, Shell Folders;
all folders appear to be correct (C:\Users|Michael\Pictures, etc, except I
have one Registry Key that says: !Do not use this registry key and under Data
it says: Use the SHGetFolderPath or SHGetKnownFolderPath function instead.

Are there any experts out there that can help me straighten this out?
