Solved How do I properly change my file target path/Location?

[Homeuser66]

Hi, Recently I installed 2 x 120 SSD Drives in a RAID 0 allowing me to have 240 storage space as well as speed. In the past, I have changed My Documents, My Pictures...ect.. to another HDD. (D. Can some one tell me the correct steps to do such a thing? I have right clicked on each file/folder I want to have on another HDD (D and chose "MOVE Target" and "Find Target" and changed it from my C: to my D: so as to not take up space on my SSD's. The problem I am having is that Windows keeps putting these folders into my C: by default, so basically, I have 2 of every folder. I only want one.. Windows puts one on my C: and I have one on my D:. the C: is empty..and my D: has my stuff..

How do I correct this?
If you need pic's or more info, I will post what you need...

Thanks in advance!!!

There are registry edits you can do to point Windows to your other drive but IMO they are more trouble than they are worth. Personally, I just recreate the folders on my hdd and then forget about the ones on the ssd. A few unused folders on the ssd don't take much space or bother anything.

Using the "libraries" feature of Win 7, you can add the new folders from your hdd to the Documents, Pictures, Music, etc... Libraries so they are readily accessible. You can even remove the folders on your ssd from the Libraries if seeing the empty folder there bothers you.

I would be interested in these steps in the registry you are talking about...I might just give that a try..but for the most part, I probably will just live with what Window's is doing..after a while, I noticed that it stopped putting them in there cause I kept on deleting them...lol

Thanks for the link and the info!!!

This is exactly what I needed....I did this before, but I never went into the shell:UsersFilesFolder I just went into my C: and did it that way...I also never turned off my Sharing Files and Folders in my Homegroup...so that is why I was getting duplicates all the time...lol......

THANK YOU!!!!!!
