Hi.The situation is:I have several partition on my disks, since long time. This is because of my kamikaze habit of test everything without taking all precautions. So I have My documents in my partition D:In XP I go to Start menu ---> right click on My Documents and I change the default locatio to D:\My documents. Easy, simple and everything is OK.I never use Vista.On Windows 7, I don't know how can I assign D:\My documents as the default documents folder. It always go to Users\etc.Can I do the same as in XP?Thans and sorry for my bad english.

Thedocuments folder itself is located in the root of the system drive.It cannot be moved. For an explanation, see the following:Move user data to another drive:http://blogs.zdnet.com/Bott/?p=215 Carey Frisch

Hi DrGerry! In addition to Carey's response, what I normally do is: 1. Open (In the search field): %userprofile% 2. Right click Documents, and select Properties 3. Click on Locations, and modify the location there to D:\My Documents. Hope this helps!Jabez Gan [MVP] - http://www.msblog.org Contributing Author for: (Sybex) MCTS: Windows Server 2008 Applications Infrastructure Configuration Study Guide: Exam 70-643

Easy, right? Not exactly. I opened Outlook and my PSTs could not be found. My rules did not work. I had to re-point my PSTs and go through each rule and re-select every folder. My SpamBayes anti-spam needed to be manually re-pointed. I opened Money and had to re-point the file. All the recent documents in Office products still pointed to locations on C:. PaperPort 11 still had c:\users\{username}\documents\paprportdata and it actually showed the documents from d:\{username}\documents\paprportdata. So far, this is the only one that really worked right. Yuck. I mean, none of this is unrecoverable. But when I use the "location" tab and move these special folders, what EXACTLY is Windows doing? Can't *IT* go through the Registry and FIX these references? I swear I don't understand Microsoft's half-@$$ attempts at keeping the Registry from rot and decay. Too too many times I've seen messes left behind due to Microsoft's inconsistencies, backward compatibility attempts, etc. I finally find myself wondering when Microsoft can dump this spaghetti and fix things once and for all. End of rant.
