Few tips I would try before everything else, rescue the data from those folders. If you can access the files and folders inside from the search bar, then just write *.* and you should see everything. Then just copy the data in another location (another HDD or Pen Drive). Then if you try things...
I`m using the libraries For security reasons I have the "My docs", "Music", "Downloads" and etc. folders in another partition just as you said before. In this case you can change the location as in the answer above, or Configure the Windows 7 libraries and use them. The libraries are easy way...
