User File Directory Settings

[pdupreez]

I always partition my HD into c: and D: and place all my user documents in the D: drive. However Windows insists on c:\Documents and Settings\... for all users. This includes the My faxes, documents, pictures etc. How do I ensure that it never looks in the c: drive for any documents but only on the d: drive?

I modify the registry entries, but they seem to revert back from time to time?

Regards

Pieter

pdupreez,

Right click My Documents on the desktop, and select properties. On the Target tab, browse to the folder on your D drive you want the My Documents shortcut to point to.

Do this for each and every user that logs into the machine, and there will then be only one location for the documents. Good luck, and Happy Computing
