In previous releases of Ubuntu, I used Ubuntu Tweak to change the paths to the user folders (Music, Documents, Videos, etc). I can't find an option in Gnome 3 to do this, and Ubuntu Tweak's ppa still has no version for Oneiric.

You can hide the volumes in Places Menu.Type the following in terminal to create a new file hide-partitions.rules under /etc/udev/rules.d
sudo gedit /etc/udev/rules.d/hide-partitions.rulesNow copy/paste the following to hide-partitions.rules
ACTION!="add|change", GOTO="hide_partition_end"
SUBSYSTEM!="block", GOTO="hide_partition_end"
KERNEL=="loop*|ram*", GOTO="hide_partition_end"
KERNEL=="sda5", ENV{UDISKS_PRESENTATION_HIDE}="1"
LABEL="hide_partition_end"Save the file and close it.
Now we are going to hide the partition sda6(Stuffs) from Places Menu.
Edit the fstab file
sudo gedit /etc/fstabPut a # in front of the line
UUID=B630D52430D4EC7D /media/sda6 ntfs-3g defaults,locale=en_IN 0 0So it becomes
#UUID=B630D52430D4EC7D /media/sda6 ntfs-3g defaults,locale=en_IN 0 0Save the file.
Reboot the sytem.
Now the volume Stuffs will be removed from the Places Menu.
you are using gnome-tweak tool....,following this step
1. Shell Extensions -> user theme Extension --> enable(on)
2. alt + f2 -> "r" -> enter
Backing to gnome-tweak, you go to the Theme. You will see a workable function of shell-theme.

Open a terminal and write this command:
Each row is a user folder definition (music, video...), edit as you want. For example, I did not want the videos folder in home, but in a separate disk, and changed the XDG_VIDEOS_DIR parameter this way:
