You will have to spend a bit of money and read the instructions, but if your system gets hosed and you ever need to restore you can do so in an hour or two instead of a day. Quote: You do not have to make a full backup every time, only set it to back up changes. |

| | Re: Second drive Hi, Open Windows Explorer to the Users\<user> folder, right click that user's data folder and check properties. On the Location tab is an option to 'move target'. You should be able to move the majority of the data folders, ie: documents, downloads, etc., but do not move or attempt to move system or appdata folders. -- Best of Luck, Rick Rogers, aka "Nutcase" - Microsoft MVP http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/ Windows help - www.rickrogers.org My thoughts http://rick-mvp.blogspot.com "Enigma_lh" <larshvst@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:7CF81C58-1675-427A-913A-CF03E39013C5@xxxxxx Quote: >I installed a second drive, and would like to move user files to the second > drive.
