    Moving My Docs to D Drive


    Found these instructions on net but I got lost at #7:

    The My Documents folder is part of Windows 7's new Documents Library. A library combines multiple folders that contain similar types of files.

    To move your documents to the D drive:

    1. Create a new documents folder on the D drive.
    2. Right-click the new folder and click Include in Library > Documents .
    3. Click Start > Documents .
    4. Double-click My Documents to show its contents.
    5. Drag and drop the files to the new folder.
    6. Press F5 to refresh the view.
    7. Under Documents Library , click locations .
    8. Right-click the new folder and click Set as default save location .
    9. [Optional] Click My Documents and click Remove .
    move the My Documents folder to another drive - Microsoft Community
    Where is Documents Library > locations?

    AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAggggggggggggggghhhhhhh.

    I got up to the step 'regedit' - done.

    NEXT - log off temp admin/ log back in as AaLF.

    I'm locked out. I have my icon/avatar but the temp admins desktop.

    Disaster @ #16 -

    User Profile - Change Default Location

    I have deleted the temp. admin. but now I'm the only one in the house again but I have the profile of the temp account desktop & all.

    When I use another copy of windows to look into the troubled win7 C drive I see in "users" both me & the temp admin as account users still. I'm guessing I must have still been in "Temp Admin & deleted himself". But that is only an after thought. i'm still sure i did it right.

    NEVER mind about this drama. I have used an old image to recover most. I'll load up an extra drive later and practise first next time.

    Just for future reference, "Documents Library > locations" can be accessed by clicking the Blue text under "Documents Library" heading.
