Small problem occuring after changing Drive letters

Vista Home Premium SP1
Two partitions on HDD. For some reason, after having inserted a USB memory
stick, the two partitions became C: and E: with the memory stick as D:
I renamed the stick to G:, and renamed the 2nd (data) partition back to D:.
All is working OK except - the Documents link on the Start Menu is empty,
its Properties are empty. How do I get the Documents link on the Start Menu
to point to the Documents folder?
Also If I click on my user name link on the Start menu there are several
white "folders" with no names that I cannot seem to delete.

Any solution?

Oh! Why don't you help him rather than junk up this ng with your psycho
babble? Oh...I forgot you're nothing but a lying linux troll! You're too
stupid and far too broke to afford Vista so how could you possibly help
anyone in this Vista general ng with Vista problems? Answer...you can't!
Get lost troll and don't bother to come back this time.
Lying linux loser!

Right click on the documents link in your start menu and go to
properties/location and point the link to the location of your actual
documents folder.

And when he removes the memory stick and it reverts back to "D", do it
again?

Giggle.

You can use this for persistent drive letters:

Another classic example of how screwed up Windows REALLY is. It can't
by itself always remember drive assignment letters due to sloppy
programming, but some little no name application can. Laughable.

Naturally Frank will scream Vista is the best OS ever. Sure, right.
Only to the uninformed and fools.
