My first hard drive is partitioned into logical drives C, D, E, F, and G.
The C: drive was 8 GB, and it was getting full. I decided to defrag C:, then
repartition 6 GB of empty space from F: to C:. But there was insufficient
space on C: for Defrag to run. To gain temporary space for Defrag, I decided
to temporarily move a large directory from C: to H: (on the second hard
drive). The directory I chose was my Desktop, which was about 1 GB.
(C:\Documents&Settings\Jeff\Desktop).
I copied the Desktop to H:, deleted it from C:, performed the defrag, and
copied the Desktop back to C:. All seems well. Then I performed the
repartition. Again, all seems well.
Here is the problem. Windows now believes that the copy on H: is the real
Desktop. I don't know how to tell Windows that the real Desktop is now back
on C: where it belongs.
Once Windows is using the Desktop on C:, I should be able to delete the copy
on H: - which I can't do now, of course, since it is a System Folder.
Suggestions? Thanks.
