transferring the equivalent of "My Documents' to open on another drive

Hello,

I have multiple drives in my PC. My 'C' drive (a speedy 10k 36gig scsi
drive) has Vista and applications installed. I have two Seagate 400gig
SATA2 drives serve has daya drives.

I would like to transfer my settings of 'My Documents' or 'Documents' to the
'D' drives rather than the default 'C' drive. I note that Vista is a bit
different in that it has a 'Documents' folder that does not include folders
for music, video and pictures. These folders are seperate and each defaults
to the 'C' drive.

Is there a one stop means of setting a directory that contains these folders
and transfer it to another drive (in my case 'D' drive)?


Thank you,
Shane

The "special" subfolders of C:\Users\(Your Name) can all be re-located by
right-clicking on each folder, choosing Properties, and then clicking on the
Location tab.
