Transferring files to new Windows 7

[707kandi]

New Windows 7 computer. I backed up everything (drag and drop) to an external drive. On old XP computer I had partitioned drive with one set up just for work. I was able to either drag and drop or use the "include folder" when transferring documents, music and photos to new machine. everything worked fine.

I then set up a new library called work. I want my work folders and documents to be under that libaray. But now I seem to be having difficulties doing so. If I use the include library to transfer from external drive it shows them as still being located on drive E instead of C. I can put them under my documents but dang it that is not where I want them. Once I put them under there I can copy them to the new library but they remain under my documents as well.

Is there no way to get them under my work library? It is still on drive C so one would think - unless you are microsoft - that logically you could do that. Any help will be greatly appreciated!!

Is this what you are encountering?

"Documents Library is not a regular folder, the application will try to save the file directly to the Documents Library as if it is just another folder on disk. This represents a problem, since by now, as we already know, Libraries are a non–file system location and therefore can't be treated as regular folders".

Yes...thank you! For someone who used Explorer extensively on XP this new Library system is not quite as intuitive - at least for me.
