Moving "My Documents" folder.

[Ted Thomasson]

Hi all,

Can anyone tell me how to change the default location of "My Documents" from
the C: drive to the D: drive. I'm running xp pro sp2 & want to put it on a
seperate drive for safety sake, like a backup.

Thanks,

Ted.

Download TweakUI, one of the Microsoft powertoys. That has a section with
settings to move these special folders.

Answered in another newsgroup. Please do not send the same message
separately to more than one newsgroup (called multiposting). Doing so just
fragments the thread, so someone who answers in one newsgroup doesn't get to
see answers from others in another newsgroup. And for those who read all the
newsgroups the message is multiposted to, they see the message multiple
times instead of once (they would see it only once if you correctly
crossposted instead). This wastes everyone's time, and gets you poorer help
than you should get.

If you must send the same message to more than one newsgroup, please do so
by crossposting (but only to a *few* related newsgroups).

newsgroups?" at http://smjg.port5.com/faqs/usenet/xpost.html
