Moved My documents to Partitioned drive "E"

Guest

Hi,
Using XP, I have moved the My Documents folder to a new drive "E". Seemed
OK, but I was thrown by the fact I still have a "My Documents" folder listed
under

"Documents and Settings/myusername"

In his folder, I also have folders for

Cookies, Desktop, Favourites and Start Menu.

Q1. Should I delete this duplicate My Documents folder and or is it correct
to leave it there as a copy (according to propertiesit is located on the C
drive)

Q2. Should I move the other folders too?

I have also posted seperately a similarly related question about the program
Folder

Thanks for your thoughts... look forward to hearing from you

Q1: Leave the folder. You may run install a program that uses absolute
paths. You can usually redirect the data in the program's options but until
you do so, the "spare" My Documents under Documents and Settings will catch
any files that land there.

Q2: No.
