Moving the Documents folder

[Gordon]

As a very new Vista user (about 5 hours!) I want to move my Documents folder
to another partition.
In XP I just right-clicked on My Documents and in the Properties window
there was a "move" option. Can't see anything like that in Vista Home
Premium. Is there?

Thanks

In the Properties dialog for the Documents folder, the 'Location' tab allows
you to move the folder.

allows you to move the folder.

Thanks! I was pretty up to speed on XP, now a whole new learning curve!

I was following this thread and clicked on the howtogreek website and
downloaded the file. When I ran it, I got an error stating that "error
accessing the registry". I tried it with the registry editor open and
closed, and obtained the same error message. Do you have any suggestions as
to what I am doing incorrectly?
