Move documents folder...

[Øyvind Granberg]

Hi...

I tried to move the "My Documents" folder in my Widows Vista Ultimate and
clicked wrongly. After cacelling the move of files, something went wrong.

I have made a folder named Docs to hold all my documents.
But when I right click on the documents folder, which now is pointing at
C:\USERS, there is no location tab.

What have I done?

Run the command:
shell:My Documents

I want to move "My Documents"-folder to a new location, but the tab in the
folders properties dialog box, enabling me to set the new location, is gone
missing!

Are you actually trying to move the "My Documents" Junction point, or are
you trying to move "Documents"? The two are entirely different things...

I am trying to move the default document folder to another internal
harddisk. From c:\users\Zadig Galbaras\Documents to d:\docs\
I want d:\Docs to be the folder which opens whenever I click on save in
Word.

Not just copy the files and subfolder to a another location.

Thank you, Brink

That did it...

Now when I choose svae in Word the correct folder is emerging

Hi,

You need to fix the Documents folder path in the User Shell Folders registry
key. See:
