| Refreshing a little bit.
Moving Personal Folders:
Here is how it works:
Open the Start menu and click your user name to open the User folder
Right-click the personal folder you want to redirect to another location.
Select “Properties”
Click the tab “Location”
The dialog box shown below will open
Click the button “Move”
An Explorer dialog “Select a destination” will open
Browse to the location where you want to redirect this folder. You can
select another location on this computer, another drive attached to
this computer, or another computer on the network
Click the folder where you want to store the files
Click the button “Select Folder”
Click “OK”
In the dialog that appears, click “Yes” to move all the files to the new location.
List of personal system folders where this is applicable
Not all system folders can be redirected this way. On my system these system folders located under Users\{User name}\ had a tab “Location” in their properties sheet and could be redirected:
Contacts
Desktop
(My) Documents
Downloads
Favorites
Links
(My) Music
(My) Pictures
Saved Games
Searches
(My) Videos
If you wish to put folders back in their original location, use the button “Restore Default” shown in the graphic.
And there you have it.
