Hello. I just installed a slave hard drive on my system and I wanted to know if there is a way to make folders like My Documents store their contents in a drive other than " C: ? Thanks.
 
To reset the focus of your 'documents and settings' folder to your slave drive, you might need to use this un supported fix:

Moving

Hope this helps

If you just want to move "My Documents", its pretty easy. Just follow these steps:

1.) Create a "My Documents" directory on another drive (or in another location)
2.) Right click on "My Documents" (I'm assuming there is an icon for it on the desktop)
3.) Choose Move and navigate to the new location
4.) Once you have the new location selected, click OK.
5.) Your "My Documents" is now located at the new location.

I have done the above and have my "My Documents" sitting on my F drive.
