Hi everyone, I would like to move the user folder (the one which includes My Documents, My images, My videos, My Music, etc) the one you can show in the W7 desktop and it's named as your user name account. I would like to move it entirely to a folder on a D:\ partition. How can I do this process? I want to redirect all the folder, not just My Documents or My images to a folder on D:\ partition. Thanx.
i already answered your cuestion in the another forum. You have to do it individually for each folder.
"Thanks!!! This seems a easier way!!!" - You're kidding - Right ! It is so much easier to simply re-create the Users/Username files on the second drive and move all user files there through the right click location method - automatically fixes all links with no need for anything else - make a mistake with the method listed and you'll be re-installing or getting an UberGuru to fix it for you. If it ain't broke don't mess with it.
Well windows will get confused moving directories unless you use some kind of junction point afterwards
I would like to change user name. Is that possible without reinstall or messing up my administrative user account
Um im pretty sure if you go into User Accounts under Control Panel it gives you the option to change the account name.. i'd backup just incase tho Maybe test it out with another user account first considering i've never actually tested this feature if it actually renames the directory
too late? Is it possible/safe to move User folder after it had been used for some time or you must do it after the initial Win 7 install? This question applies to both manual move described or using the little proggie recommended.
