To me this command yielded only an error message.

I want to move "My Documents"-folder to a new location, but the tab in the folders properties dialog box, enabling me to set the new location, is gone missing!

How can I then move my documents folder?
Registry tweak?

Hi...

I tried to move the "My Documents" folder in my Widows Vista Ultimate and
clicked wrongly. After cacelling the move of files, something went wrong.

I have made a folder named Docs to hold all my documents.
But when I right click on the documents folder, which now is pointing at
C:\USERS, there is no location tab.

What have I done?

regards

Hello Zadig,

You can use Method Two in this tutorial to change the location for the Documents folder, called "Personal" in the registry, to what you want instead.

Hope this helps,
