ITunes 6.0.1.3 won't save new music library location

Question

I want to change the default location of the music libary, so I went through the edit | preferences | consolidate library processes...which seemed to work fine. However, every time I load iTunes, it creates a new iTunes directory in the old default location even though the "new" location is supposedly being used.
What the heck is going on?
I've tried uninstalling & reinstalling, and there is obviously not a complete uninstall because after the reinstall, the "new" directory was still being used and it should have been the old default directory.
Any thoughts? Thank you.

This method will change the location of the iTunes Music folder but the the iTunes folder itself will be left behind in its original place: C:\Documents and Settings\user name\My Documents\My Music. This makes iTunes (and by extension will also make you) much happier and in this case you'll be well-advised to let it have its way.
Note that all the actual music files you now have, as well as those you will add in the future(which take up the bulk of the space on your hard drive), will be in the new location. The iTunes folder will be left behind with the iTunes Library files which don't take up much space at all ... if that's a concern.
