Copying "My Documents"

[Dave]

I'd like to copy (not backup) the "My Documents" folder to another drive. I
can 'copy', but there is no 'paste' option when I get to the other drive.
Is there a way to do this?
Thx

Dave

Open Explorer. Right click My Documents and while holding the button down
move it to the other drive on the other side of the divide. It will give
you options, whether to copy or move. (To get My Documents to the right
panel, you first have to click on it.)

My Documents is one of a number of system created Special Folders
including My Pictures and My Music. These can more easily be relocated
using Tweak Ui. Download TweakUI, one of the MS powertoys, from here:
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/pro/downloads/powertoys.asp

In TweakUi select My Computer, Special Folders. You can scroll down to
see the full list of Special Folders to the left of the Change
Location button.

You may also need to change Default File locations in the Microsoft
Office programmes you choose to move the My Documents folder. For Word
go to Tools, Options, File Locations, highlight Documents, click on
Modify and change file path. For Excel go to Tools, Options, General
and change default file path.

Hope this helps.
