When I used XP I kept the My Documents file on my D: drive. Apart from
anything else this made backing-up a cinch. After upgrading to Vista, I
played around and managed to get the D: drive to appear on my start menu.
It also appears under my Username folder on the start menu. However, it is
grey rather than green and in both places is is called DATA (D rather than
documents (or possibly Documents).
My Music and Pictures folders are stored as sub-folders in this drive/folder
in the right place, but the other default folders such as Links, Saved
Games, Searches, Downloads and Favourites are not, for some reason they
still sit on the C: drive. My Videos folder is on my E: drive where I would
like to keep it.
Ideally I'd like all these folders to sit on D: with a green Documents
folder and all the sub-folders (except Videos). I've seen plenty of online
tips about moving folders, sometimes they involve tinkering with the
registry, but not much about fixing wrongly configured folders. This isn't
just petty nonsense, I really need everything in one place so I can organise
simple and reliable back-ups.
