| 524708 | 2007-02-14 23:43:00 | Hi chaps and chapesses I'm wanting to shift my user folders to drive F: so that I have user data on a different physical drive to the OS. (In case Something Bad happens to the OS) I just can't see how it is done, if anyone could point me in the right direction, I'd be appreciative. I'm using Vista Ultimate. Cheers :thumbs: |

It should then ask you whether you want to move all your existing documents to there, or if you want to do it manually yourself. You will need to do this for each data folder (eg. pictures etc.) |

| 524711 | 2007-02-15 00:08:00 | This method doesn't seem to work for the 'public' folder, though. I've moved my users folders, but the dialog box for 'public documents' won't allow me to change it. Is this standard, by design? I could create a sharable folder on drive F: but I'd rather have the system 'public' folder pointed there. |

| 524712 | 2007-02-15 01:37:00 | I haven't tried myself, but if you just create a folder you want to be the "Public" one, then right-click on the Public shortcut and change that so it points to your newly created folder, it should work. | somebody (208) | ||
