Re: Change the directory the "My Documents" key goes to.

David

Create a My Documents folder in another partition and copy ( not move ) the
contents of My Documents to your new folder. Then delete the files in your
My Documents folder ( if you encounter problems deleting use Shift + Delete
to bypass the Recycle Bin ). You will also need to change Default File
locations in the Microsoft Office programmes you use. For Word go to Tools,
Options, File Locations, highlight Documents, click on Modify and change
file path. For Excel go to Tools, Options, General and change default file
path.

Hope this helps.

how do you change the location of the directory the shortcut buttons for
my
picture my documents my music etc take you to? I have created a new my
documents folder on a separate partition on the hard drive to keep
documents
away from programmes. This certainly made things a lot easier when I had
to
reinstall Windows.
