Can My Music be moved to another drive?

O

Old Timer

I have been recording all of my old CD's onto my hard drive where they have
been put into My Documents, My Music. As a consequence My Documents are now
more than 10GB.

I seem to recall that it's possible to put My Documents onto a separate
drive or partition. How is this done? Can this idea be taken further so
that just My Music is on another drive?

The reason for wanting to do this is to make the backup of 'C' drive much
faster.

Download and install TweakUI:

Microsoft PowerToys for Windows XP (TweakUI)
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/pro/downloads/powertoys.asp

After installing, go to Start > Programs > PowerToys for Windows XP >
TweakUI. Expand "My Computer" and click on "Special Folders".
You can easily change the location of the folders there.

Create another partition using Patition Magic. Then create a folder in
the new partition and transfer your music there.

I downloaded Tweak UI, clicked it to unzip it, went to the admin>local temp
folder found the file clicked on it & got the message that this should be
run from Control Panel, would you like to do this now? But then nothing
that I could see ever happened. I don't know if it's been run & if so where
it's located. Please advise as to how to install this program.

You could try and partition your drive by using partition magic or
something. If you ever had to format you could easily recover them
