Difficulty in changing the Default DispForm, EditForm and NewForm

Question

Hi I have created a Custom NewForm, DispForm and EditForm for a "MyList". 
now on homepage on quicklaunch user selects newform thus creates a record and saves it.
everything is perfect until this point. now if the user selects EditForm or DispForm, it is pointing to default Edit and Disp forms.
i have tried to create newItemForm, Editform in SPDesigner-->Lists and Libraries -->"MyList" --> Forms and copy pasted my Editform application page to here and made this form as the default form.
as soon as i copy my editform and display form details to here the forms are moving to AllFiles --> Lists -->"MyList" thus i dont have the custom form as the defaultEdit form and DefaultDisplayForm.
i ambreaking my head, did  anyone faces same issue ?? any help would be much appreciated :)
Thanks
Bob

are you saying that you are creating a SharePoint list form by copying full code from one form to another
if it so , then its wrong, probably because of the list GUID's and all might not match
Create a new list form and associate it with a list
The easiest and quickest way to create a custom list form is to create a new form and make it the default form for the list.
With your site open in SharePoint Designer 2010, click Lists and Libraries in the Navigation pane.
Click the desired list from the gallery, for example, Announcements.
On the summary page, under Forms, click New.
 NOTE   Alternatively, you can click List Form in the ribbon on the List Settings tab.
In the Create New List Form dialog box, specify a file name for the new form. (Do not use names that will conflict with the default forms: DispForm.aspx, EditForm.aspx, and NewForm.aspx.)
For the type of form, specify New item form, Edit item form, or Display item form.
To make this form the default form associated with your list, click Set as default form for the selected type. When you do this, your custom form will be used for this list instead of the original default form.
