If your G drive is removable ie: an SD card, Windows will revert to the default system folders every time you remove the card.
Or
The new folder you specify has moved/changed name, since you set it.
Or
You may have downloaded a super stripped down version of Win 7 (as I did, for media production), and those functions simply may not be installed.

Why aren't you saving to an off-drive saver via USB.... Then wiping the C clean?
They would then be avail on the external plug in with a newly cleaned C?

When you save your photos, and that window pops up? In that window, on the left side, should be a favorites shortcut link that quickly selects a folder structure you have been using the most.
Just insert drive g into your computer, open up 'to the folder' and right click the folder you wish to quickly access with just a click of one extra button, and select the option marked "add to favorites."
A shortcut link will be generated in the save folder view, where you can just quickly insert your g drive, select the folder shortcut from the favorites section, and it will automatically navigate itself inside your g drive to the desired folder to save your photos in.
That's all you need to do.
Don't go changing the registry now.

in any event i think MS stinks for building a system that does not provide a mechanism for this to occur. Who in this day and age stores all their data in with their operating system which if it crapped itself would lose all their data? its insane.

Um, aren't the operating system (including file manazrgers) stored on the C: drive?
Are you attempting to boot from your G drive instead?

The fact that you don't know how to do it doesn't mean it can't be done, right?
See if this is what you want.
