1129771 2010-08-20 06:42:00 Hi Guys
Just getting to grips with Windows 7.

I have a physical D drive on which I want to store all of my data.
I want to make My Documents link to my D drive.

I am trying to understand the new Libraries feature.
Under Libraries/Documents I have a Public Documents folder.
I seem to have lost My Documents folder.

Can I manually add a My Documents folder ?

Is there any info out there on this subject ?

Ye Gods.... Read that.... Yet another reason for this Old Fart to stay with XP. SP3. (In classic mode, even) for as long as he can. Mind you, have only recently given up Win2K !! :crying :blush:

I agree XP is much more sensible but what is so bad about those instructions? They seem very clear and simple to me...

It's now on D:, Windows updated all it's references, reg entries and so on. Just the same as it was in XP.

I'm surprised that actually worked.

Whenever I've done things like that in the past, Windows has not liked me...
