Personal Data Folders

I have redirected the Vista Personal Data Folders (documents, pictures,
downloads, etc.) to another drive (E. Sometimes this drive is not online
when I logon. How do I gain access to my personal data folders if drive E: is
brought online after I logon? For clarity, these folders are the Vista
Personal Data Folders, not the Outlook Personal Folders.

Re: Personal Data Folders

No, the drive in question is an encrypted virtual drive that resides on an
ESATA drive and can't be mounted until after I login. The ESATA drive is
available immediately, but the virtual drive is not available until I
manually mount it.
