Moving personal files to D drive

**FortuneSmiles** · 10 Mar 2009

I have all of my personal folders on the D drive. Following a reinstall of Vista64 I again pointed the location of my personal folders back to the D drive (where the folders remained). I was able to take care of all of them except the Downloads folder which does not have a location tab. I am sure it was there on previous installs. What can I do?

reinstalled Vista and now it's fine.

Hello FortuneSmiles,

For next time if needed, the Downloads folder may not have had the correct default location set for it so that you can change it from the Properties page. Using Option Three in the tutorial below will show you how to change the location in the registry instead.

Personal User Folder - Restore Missing Folder

Hope this helps if it happens again to save you a reinstall.
