Changing location of Documents folder

Hi all,
I have encountered a problem during the changing of the location of my
various User folders within Vista (Documents, Music, Favorites etc).
I can change the location of the folders without problem (RMC >
Properties > Location etc etc), but after doing so the original folder
(C:\Users\username\Favorites) remains and is inextricably linked to the
new one (Z:\Favorites).
That is, the contents are the same in the original and new folders. If
I delete the contents of the original Favorites folder folder, the
contents of the new Favorites folder are also deleted.
This behaviour is the same in all the Users folders.
Has anyone seen this before, and know how to get around it ??

======================================
Actually...the folder and contents have been moved
to the new location but the original icon is acting as
a shortcut.

Maybe the following article will offer some ideas:
