The text below contains what you need. It's something I do on my system to
rid myself of a myriad of (IMO) useless folders created by Windows.
Basically, take what you need from the info below and copy it into Notepad.
Save the file as shellfolder.reg and then import the file into RegEdit.

********

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Explorer\User
Shell Folders]
"Favorites"="C:\\Documents and Settings\\Owner\\NetHood"
"Cache"="C:\\Documents and Settings\\Owner\\NetHood"
"CD Burning"="C:\\Documents and Settings\\Owner\\NetHood"
"Cookies"="C:\\Documents and Settings\\Owner\\NetHood"
"History"="C:\\Documents and Settings\\Owner\\NetHood"
"My Music"="C:\\Documents and Settings\\Owner\\NetHood"
"My Pictures"="C:\\Documents and Settings\\Owner\\NetHood"
"My Video"="C:\\Documents and Settings\\Owner\\NetHood"
"NetHood"="C:\\Documents and Settings\\Owner\\NetHood"
"PrintHood"="C:\\Documents and Settings\\Owner\\NetHood"
"SendTo"="C:\\Documents and Settings\\Owner\\NetHood"
"Templates"="C:\\Documents and Settings\\Owner\\NetHood"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\Explorer\User
Shell Folders]
"Common Favorites"="C:\\Documents and Settings\\Owner\\NetHood"
"Common Pictures"="C:\\Documents and Settings\\Owner\\NetHood"
"Common Music"="C:\\Documents and Settings\\Owner\\NetHood"
"Common Templates"="C:\\Documents and Settings\\Owner\\NetHood"
"Common Video"="C:\\Documents and Settings\\Owner\\NetHood"
