Moving "my Documents" to a new hard driv
« on: August 01, 2005, 07:31:49 PM »
I just added a hard drive on my system for added storage.  How can I move all of the “my Documents” for all of the users on my system to the new hard drive and still keep them separated so that the only one who can see their documents and access their documents is the user that is currently logged in.

Why do you want to? Is it XP or some other OS?

Log in as each user. Make a new "My Documents" folder on the drive you want. Find the setting in the programs you use that will allow you to choose the default save to folder. Enter the path to the new "My Doc..." while logged in as each user.

JDK:

Easy! in Windows XP Professional:

1. Right-click on My Documents and choose Properties from the context menu.
2. In My Documents Properties, select the Target tab.
3. Under Target Folder Location, click Move.
4. In the Select a Destination dialog box, find the new folder on the hard drive where you wish to move the contents of your My Documents folder and select OK.
5. Select OK to the My Documents Properties dialog box to save the changes.

Regards,
Doc
