How to edit the KDE System Menu (Home | Storage media | Remote Places, etc.)

[dhfx]

Is there a way to edit the menu of locations that comes up with the KDE System icon, I mean the menu with Home Folder | Storage Media | Remote Places | etc.? It doesn't seem to be accessible via the KDE Menu Editor - or maybe I haven't figured it out yet. I'd like to change the "Documents Folder" item at the top to something else (both the title and the link).

BTW, I never asked Hardy to create subfolders "Documents", "Music", "Video" etc. in my home directory. I deleted them, and after the last online update, they're back! Is there a way to keep them from being recreated?

Thanks for the pointers to those two posts. I just made the mods and I'm about to restart X to make them effective.

I may be missing something, but changing the "Document path" from within KDE Control Center does not work. I need to edit ~/.config/user-dirs.dirs manually to change that particular path. Perhaps KDE stores the path information somewhere inside its profile (~/.kde)? In any case, it seems like a bug.
