| Vista Ultimate 32bit | Move Public Folder- 'Move' option not listed I'm trying to move the Public folder to a different volume. Help is clear, and I was able to move the user folder with no issues. However, the Public folder (under Locations) doesn't give me the 'move' option. It lists the current location, but I can't edit it or change it. Workaround? |

| | Re: Move Public Folder- 'Move' option not listed Followed suggestions in this forum and others, including microsoft support --nothing works to be able to get move button on location tab of public folders. In summary, I have disabled UAC -- no help; tried running explorer.exe as elevated process -- no help; looked in my registry for a particular policy that might affect, but no policies exist in that location. Any further ideas?
