Can you map your Desktop to another drive?

Actually if I was ready to reinstall the OS I would move the whole USER and ProgramData folders to another drive.
I already have the My Docs, Music, whatever folders on another drive and email storage and internet cache on other drives.

Hello mate, have you had look at the tutorial by Kari I posted above?

Yes but didn't see anyway to move them now. Did I miss something? I just browsed through it.

Naw, that's just for use during an install but once it's been setup it can be re-done for subsequent installs very easily.

If you are going to muck about in the Windows registry, I suggest you export a backup of the registry first in case of any possible issues you may encounter.

You could also create a System Restore point but a registry backup would be more reliable.
