Hello all,

I just recently ordered an external hard drive and I am going to want to have all my music/movies/pictures on that drive. I know on Windows you can use a program called TweakUI that'll let your default music/pictures/movies/etc folder exist on a hard drive seperate from the OS installation and it'll even keep the special icons and whatnot.

How can I do this on OSX so that iPhoto, iTunes, etc and the default music/pictures/movies folder can be on the external hard drive complete with the special icons and whatnot?

Even better would be if I could keep shortcuts of those folders in my home folder and when I click on them it'll direct me to the original folders on the external drive.

Thanks for your help.
