Selecting a new target for user folders

Is there a way to select a new target for an entire user folder instead of
just the document, pictures, music, etc? I'd like to put all my user folders
on a second partition so I can reformat without the loss of data.

Thanks in advance!

I've been trying to find a way to do this myself and so far I haven't found
any way to do it.

Hi
Goto Start, Under your user name, right click on the folder (Say
Documents), goto properties, Here you will see a tab for location. You may
change it to any location here.

Hope this helps

Re: Selecting a new target for user folders

I know I can change some of the individual folders like documents, music, or
pictures, but I want to change the entire user folder so that I get all the
folders as a whole versus individually relocating each one for every user.
Any good ideas?
