[dba-Tech] How to Move My Documents in Vista

Arthur,

After reading Ed Botts thing, I think I found an easier way, right click on 
the music Icon, select properties and then the location tab. Type in the 
location where you want it and then select move. I tested it with the saved 
games folder (I don't have any so I don't care if I loose it.) If you don't 
like the results do the same thing  from the new location and restore 
defaults and it goes back.

I think Ed's suggestion that you have some type of backup is probably good..

Bill

This one has me so baffled. It's so simple in XP and unfathomable in Vista.
I got a 500GB USB external drive for precisely this purpose, and the Music
directory is rapidly consuming the built-in drive, so I need to move either
Music or Documents to the external drive to gain some breathing space. I've
tried lots of things.

Suggestions? Instructions?

TIA,
Arthur
