data drive help and understanding

Ok, so i resolved a few issues with that easy tranfser blasted thing.

I backed up all my data from the old computer to the external hard drive.

Now that it is there, how do i save data to the d drive. Things like music and pics and documents.

My c drive is labeled OS and that is where i am putting the programs into. I assume the data goes into the data drive. How do i get it from the external drive to the d drive?

I attached an image of my drive configerations...hope it helps
Please keep it simple, I am a newbie at windows 7 and was an xp user up until yesterday

it sounds as if you need to change the default location of user folders.

go for option 2 in the tutorial.

ok, I tried this option 2. However, it will not give me the option to move the file. Those options do not exist on the location tab.
when i typed shell:userfilesfolders, nothing happened either.

in my library I have two picture folders

you have to type shell:userfilesfolders into the start-menu searchbox, then hit enter.

you should then see a bunch of folders, including my pictures, my documents etc.

right-click on these, and use the location tab to change the location of current and future stored documents.

I did that again and nothing happend. I get search not found

ah very sorry - spelling mistake

it should be shell:usersfilesfolder

's' on the end of 'user' and not 'folder'.

please try again - it should work now.

oops

Thank you!
