| Re: User Documents - New location? nowt wrote:[color=blue] > Is it possible to move the My Documents folder to another drive? > It was allot easier in Windows XP!![/color] Not much different in Vista. Right-Click on the Documents Folder, choose Properties, same as XP, and click on the Location tab. There, that was hard, wasn't it? -- Asking a question? Please tell us the version of the application you are asking about, your OS, Service Pack level and the FULL contents of any error message(s) |

| Re: User Documents - New location? nowt wrote:[color=blue] > Is it possible to move the My Documents folder to another drive? > It was allot easier in Windows XP!![/color] Also be aware that Vista does NOT use the "My" prefix. Your documents folder is located at C:/Users/{Your User Name}/Documents. If you are trying to move the "My Documents" folder you can't because it is not a folder and doesn't contain your documents. It's a junction point only. -- Asking a question? Please tell us the version of the application you are asking about, your OS, Service Pack level and the FULL contents of any error message(s) |
