Folder name change messes up my nano

I am running XP. I have tried to install iTunes on my computer so I can use
a nano. However, I tunes cannot find the "My Music" folder because windows
has changed the name to "Donovan's Music." I cannot change the folder name
back to "My Music," since it is a special folder. To get around this, I
followed iTunes instructions and created a new user on my computer, named it
"Musicman," and sure enough there was a "My Music" folder under that user
that allowed me to sync to the nano. However, the next time I accessed
iTunes, it would not open because the "My Music" folder had been renamed
"Musicman's Music," and could not be changed back. I bought a remote storage
device, which had a "My Music" folder on it, and it worked one time, but its
name was changed, too. How do I get a "My Music" folder on my machine that
iTUnes can recognize, and how do I keep my file names from renaming
themselves?
 
Re: Folder name change messes up my nano

You can direst ITunes to save to any folder that you want under
ITunes Edit/preferences/advanced.

My files are all saved to (User Name)/My Music/ITunes.

I have the latest version of ITunes 8.0.0.35

Why bring this up here? This is a program written by Apple, not MS,
and is NOT XP.

Ask elsewhere
