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?

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.

You do it basically the same way you did in XP. See this link from my
