Folder Redirection Failed

I had my music under the windows vista default of C:\User\User_Name\Music
folder. I right clicked the Music folder's properties, selected the Location
tab, selected the Move button and moved the music files to an external
harddrive. It all worked correctly.

I went to reset the files to their default location above by right clicking
the external drive's properties and repeating the above actions. When I
accepted window's message of moving all the files, I received and error
message with the above subject title. The error said that the subfolders were
not able to be created and that Access was denied. How can I get around this
to reset the default music location? All responses are appreciated.

If you are using WMP11 do it through that

John: Thanks for the response. Please excuse my ignorance, but what is WMP11?
I did the inital redirection to the external harddrive via the vista
'explorer' Music folder properties. And I tried to 'undo' it via the external
HD's vista 'explorer' properties. Thanks again.

John: Moments after posting I figured out that WMP11 must be Windows Media
Player 11. I did not use it for the initial redirection.
