| Saving data on drive D: My new laptop came with a partitioned hard drive (75Gb on each of two drives). Drive D is for data but the default locations for my Music, Pictures, Documents, etc. is drive C. How do I change this in Vista? I want my programs on C (where they are) and my Music, Pictures, Documents and Videos on drive D - and I want Vista to know this without me having to change folder every time. Thanks in advance. Bobby      |

| Re: Saving data on drive D: Hi, Open your user profile (C:\Users\<user>) and right click the Documents folder, choose properties. On the Location tab, click "move". Repeat for other user data directories. -- Best of Luck, Rick Rogers, aka "Nutcase" - Microsoft MVP [url]http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/[/url] Windows help - [url]www.rickrogers.org[/url] My thoughts [url]http://rick-mvp.blogspot.com[/url] "Bobby" <bobby.elliott******.com> wrote in message news:26859b11-b1ce-40a5-9b7a-70c888b3f556@p25g2000hsf.googlegroups.com...[color=blue] > My new laptop came with a partitioned hard drive (75Gb on each of two > drives). > > Drive D is for data but the default locations for my Music, Pictures, > Documents, etc. is drive C. > > How do I change this in Vista?

Repeat the process with any other folders you want to move. |
