How do I move the Library folders in my user folder?
How do I move the Library folders in my user folder such as Contacts, Searches, Tracing. I have Windows 7? If I go to properties, Location, Move. It just makes a copy in the new directory, the old one stays put. And if I delete the old one it deletes the new one as well.

Hi Teamsleep, Thanks for the post! Do you mean you want to move the Library to your User Profile (C:\Users\Username) ? The Library is not a real folder, it works like a virtual folder, it gathers file in different location, make you easily access them. In this case, you cannot simply delete the Library or move the Library to your user profile. The user profile does not have the function to save files located in different area. You have to copy the files to your user profile. You can refer to here: Libraries:FAQ. In addition, if you don't like the Library feature, you can disable this feature, refer to here: How to Enable or Disable the Libraries Feature in Windows 7.
