In XP Home I have whenI click on the properties | I have a General tab and a
Sharing Tab. When I click on advanced on the general tab I have archive
index attributes and encrypt attributes

I don't see the move option.

Thanks
 
Hi Gary,

I don't have a Home system at the moment to test; however, what I am seeing
here (testing for you under Pro) is that via Windows Explorer/My Documents
read: General, Sharing, Security and Web Sharing.

But if you add My Documents to the desktop (right click the
Desktop/Properties/Desktop/Customize Desktop and check off My Documents:
Then when you right click the desktop icon/properties, the Target tab (by
default) shows a Move option.

If this does not work for you, download TweakUI:
http://download.microsoft.com/downl...a6-b352-839afb2a2679/TweakUiPowertoySetup.exe

Once downloaded, go to Start/All Programs and click on PowerToys for Windows
XP/TweakUI
My Computer/Special Folders/Documents/Change Location.

Tip: Add XP TweakUI Icon to the Control Panel
