redirect user folder

Hi. How can I redirect the "user's" folders ("user", documents, images,
etc.) to be in D: drive instead of C: drive? Is it possible? In XP you use
the properties tab to relocate My Documents, but in Vista I can't find the
properties for these folders.

Thanks.

Open the user account folder you want to redirect, \Users\<Username>, right
click on the particular folder such as Documents | Properties | Location
tab.

Re: redirect user folder

Sorry, but I still have a problem. I'm "User" on my computer, and "User" has
all administration rights. (Under C:\Users there are three folders: Default,
Public and User; all my personal data (such as custom.dic) is stored under
User).

However, if I go to the properties of User's Documents folder, I don't have
a Location tab... What can I do to resolve this?

Thankx in advance for your time,
Gerhard
