Mass updating File locations

Hello
I was forced to move my picture file to a new location (for online backup purposes) and I need to mass update the location in which the picture are to be found for my form. What is the fastest way to change this?
Keeping the picture file name the same of course.... Kind of like changing it from C:\Sesame2\Pics to "LE = C:\Bada\Bing\*.*" understanding that "*.*" is not correct.
Thank you for the help.

Flip

Two ideas come to mind.

1.  If the current paths are not hardcoded, can you change the pictures path in the application programming section?

2.  If that cannot work, then you could export your programming out to a text editor. 
Do a mass Search and Replace for the new path. 
Then import the programming file back in again.  (Make a backup of the designer file first).

Thank you Bob,
After sleeping on it I figured out another easy way "Macro" all the typed changes. It worked ok for the 1K+ files.
