Saving data on drive D:

[Bobby]

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

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.

Right-click on Documents, choose Properties and on the Location tab, do
Move.
Repeat the process with any other folders you want to move.
