What exactly are are "My music", "My Pictures" and "My videos"

The link has the following advice that, of course, does NOT work in Win10 !
Workaround

If the My Documents, My Music, My Pictures, and My Videos links in the Start menu do not point to the Documents, Music, Pictures, and Videos folders, you must manually redirect these links to the correct folders. To redirect these links, follow these steps:

Click Startthe Start button , right-click the link, and then click Properties.

On the Location tab, replace the wrong target location with the correct target location. For example, to redirect the My Music folder to the Music folder in Windows Vista, enter %systemdrive%\Users\user_name\Music.

Click Apply.

If this was a fix for Vista, it seems kind of sloppy to keep it around !

If you CHECK THIS BOX they disappear.

You can't redirect the shortcut links which is the subject of the post

Music and Video Preview Apps for PCs Headed to Store for Windows 10

As we mentioned on January 21st, we’re bringing new universal applications that will ship with Windows 10 including new Music and Video apps. Today, we are pleased to be releasing early preview versions of these new apps for Windows 10 PCs. Windows Insiders can download the Music Preview and Video Preview apps directly from the Store Beta (grey tile) in the latest build of the Windows 10 Technical Preview. Get them here:

*Arrow Download the Music Preview app (PC)
*Arrow Download the Video Preview app (PC)

We still have a lot of work to do to get these preview apps to a place where they can replace the existing Music and Video apps on the PC – we just couldn’t wait any longer to get them onto your PCs and get your feedback. Enjoy!

Music Preview App

Features to try:

Browse and play your music collection: MP3s on your device, songs you’ve put in OneDrive, or music you’ve added to your collection with an Xbox Music Pass will all show up in the Music Preview App. Try out shuffling, filtering, and sorting your music collection. And try playing a Radio station based on one of your favorite artists or bands.

Make playlists: Make playlists with all your music including music from OneDrive. Just create a new playlist and drag and drop the songs you want in that playlist. You can access all your playlists across your Windows devices, Xbox consoles and on the web at music.xbox.com.

Xbox Music Pass: If you have an Xbox Music Pass, you can browse our full catalog and stream or download music for offline use and discover new music with artist radio stations.

What’s coming next:

Browse and buy music in the Windows Store Beta– until then you can still buy music in the existing Music App

Right-click context menus

Better back button for easier app navigation

Dark color theme

Compact mode

Settings improvements

Improved support for accessibility

And much more!

Here’s what we know isn’t working quite right yet:

After heavy use you may see galleries disappear and show a blank white page. Restarting the app will solve the issue.

Playback of Music Pass content may fail with error 0x8004c029. If it does, go here to learn more about how to fix it.

There are no playback controls on hover when the app appears in the taskbar.

Video Preview App

Features to try:

Browse and play video files (including MKV!) on your device: Try out filtering and sorting your collection and adding a folder of videos to include in your collection.

Browse and play movies & TV shows you’ve purchased from any Xbox Video device: Try starting a purchased video on one Xbox Video device and pick up playback right where you left off on another device.

What’s coming next:

Discover great new movies and TV shows in the Windows Store Beta – until then you can still get them in the existing Video App or the new web Store at here.

Download movies and TV for offline play

New device management so you can play your downloads offline more reliably on the devices you care about

Improved search results

Movie reviews and cast information

Settings improvements

And much more!

Here’s what we know isn’t working quite right yet:

Movies and TV shows downloaded in other versions of the app cannot be played in this preview app. They can only be streamed. This preview app only supports streaming at this time.

Playback of purchased content may take several seconds to begin.

Adding or removing folders from your video library can hang the app. Instead, use File Explorer to manage your video library.

Playback of movies and TV may fail with error 0x8004c029. If it does, go here to learn more about how to fix it.

Expired rentals incorrectly show a play button. Playing expired content will result in a playback error.

Remember that these are just previews of these apps – we need your feedback! Please submit your feedback, both problems and suggestions, on the Music and Video Preview apps in the Windows Feedback App.

The Windows 8.1 Music and Video apps from the non-beta Store (green tile) will run side-by-side with these preview apps and can be used to purchase content.

Thank you for your continued support,
The Music and Video App Teams

adding background music to video

What is the easiest way to do so? I have no video editing experience
Click to expand...

You need a video editing program to do that. Because you tell you have no experience, I recommend you start with a free one before spending money, to see if video editing is something you might get interested in.

In my opinion, the absolutely easiest to use and by far the best of all free editors is OpenShot (OpenShot Video Editor | Free, Open, and Award-Winning Video Editor for Linux, Mac, and Windows!)

It is Open Source (Open source - Wikipedia), free with no hidden costs for additional features.

When installed, run OpenShot. List numbers refer to numbers in screenshot:

Select Project Files

Click + to browse to and import your video

Video will be added to Project Files

Drag the video to timeline, to any free track. Be sure to add video so that beginning of it touches the red vertical line at beginning of the track

Right click video track, select Separate Audio > Single clip

(Click to enlarge.)

Audio will be separated from video and moved to another track. Select the audio track, right click it and select Remove Clip:

Audio track will be cleared, the original audio of your video removed.

Import your music file to Project Files exactly as you imported the video, and drag it to any free track.

Usually the added audio track is not the same length than the video. If your music lasts longer than the video, go to end of timeline and drag audio track content so that it ends at the same point than video:

If your music track is shorter than video, you can add it again at the end of current audio track.

Now you can export (save) the video:

That's it! Easy, fast and free.

Note Please notice that if you want to publish the video on social media, YouTube and such, you must own copyrights for audio and video content, or have copyright owner's permission. On my 100+ Windows videos, when I feel the video needs some background music, I use the copyright free music from YouTube. Another free source is the Free Music Archive.
