Personal User Shell Folders - Move Location

How to Change a Personal User Folder Location in Vista



information   Information
The personal user folders can be redirected to, and all files inside them, another partition, hard drive, or folder location to be stored in instead. The folder will still be in the (user name) location in the Start Menu as usual, but it will act like a shortcut to the new location instead.
Note   Note
This can be handy if you would like to save space on the drive or partition with Vista on it, or you prefer to just store the files in the use folders at another location.
Tip   Tip
If a personal user folder has been deleted, is missing, or does not work propely, then see: How to Restore a Missing Personal User Folder in Vista
warning   Warning

  • If you have a program that places a folder in one these user folders, like the Documents folder, then you do not want to change it's location until you change the setting in the program to use another folder or the new personal folder location. Deleting the program's folder usually does not do any good. It will just be added back by the program. If you do not, then you will have two undeletable copies of the user folder. Example: Windows Live Messenger puts and uses a folder in the Documents folder.
  • If you change the Favorites folder location, it will no longer show work from within IE7 unless you change the permission level of the new Favorites folder to give Authenticated User full control. For how, see: How to Change Folder Permissions
  • If you use Windows Mail or any other email program that uses the Vista C:\Users\(user name)\Contacts folder for contacts, then do not change the Contacts folder default location to keep using Contacts in these programs.

EXAMPLE: Personal User Profile Folder Icons
NOTE:
Location is at C:\Users\(User Name)

I have somehow managed to corrupt my pictures personal folder link. By this I mean when I press START, then try and press PICTURES in the right hand personal folders panel nothing happens.
Right clicking on PICTURES and properties yields a single empty dialogue box, no tags to choose from or anything to edit.
How can I delete or recover this option?

Hi londonblue,

Welcome to Vista Forums. :party:

Delete the Pictures folders, then do OPTION TWO at the top for a missing folder.

Make sure that Pictures has the default location in the registry when you get to that step.

Slendid! Thanks Shawn, all back to normal again. I've wanting to sort that out for months.

Couple of points I noticed in the instructions (which were otherwise great) in method 2, 6B references a screen shot that shows drive D, I think it should be C\program files etc and for step 1 you suggest using as an example c\program files\ for the new folder, well I tried using the root directory at first. This doesn't work. I'd just say use the program files folder.

Anyway thanks again.
Jason

Hi Brink -

Can you clarify warning you gave up front "WARNING: If you have a program that places a folder in one these user folders..."

Do you mean some applications refer directly to the fully specified path rather than use the userprofile location? Is there any way to tell beforehand whether an app is userprofile savvy - I see that Skype, Nero, SyncToy 1.4, RegRun, Visual Studio, Canon Utilities and possibly Nokia PC Suite (which I isn't savvy about anything!) have all created folders in Documents...

... and were you saying that if an app isn't "fixed" before the move, the creation of a folder using an explicit path will create another "Documents" folder under my username...

I want to do this but I'm a bit hesitant given that it seems I might have a rather upset system afterwards due to apps I can't control/don't know about yet!

Hi Julian,

Welcome to Vista x64 Forums. :party:

You nailed it. It depends on the program. Some use the %UserProfile% path where others use the specific C:\Users path. Sometimes there may be an option in the program that will allow you to specify a default path instead of the default Documents folder.

I suppose you truly would not know until after you moved the user folder location. If it does create a second user folder to accommodate the program afterwards, then you can just restore the default location for the original folder that you relocated and delete the second user folder if it does not merge back on it's own. This way you will be back to where you started. You could also create a System Restore before you do this to use just in case.

Hope this helps,
Shawn

Thanks for the confirmation of part of my conjecture - but having said that one would end up with two undeletable folders in the warning, how does that fit with the above?

If say AppX creates in C:\User a folder called AppXStuff, and I move Documents - including AppXStuff - then when AppX next runs it will say, ""here's my damn folder?" and create a new one at C:\User... if I then "restore" the default location of Documents you're saying that Documents\AppXStuff will be merged into C:User\...? Or is it somewhat "less deterministic" than that whether it gets merged back... or the Restore works?

As for System Restore... chance would be a fine thing!

[I hope to have some info on which you might base a new tutorial to shrink System Restore points & hence increase history etc. for Vista Basic/HP users... as it stands I have restore points for today and yesterday... Wow!]

Cheers,

Julian
 

My Computer

Julian,

It is "less deterministic". If the program use the specific C:\Users location, then it will create a new folder to have it's folder in. You can then just delete it and restore the default location for the user folder to have things back before you moved the location. The program will add it's folder back to the restored default location. In the worst case, all you will have to do is delete both user folders, then treat it has a missing user folder and do Option Two to restore the user folder to default. The System Restore is just extra insurance.

Thanks Shawn...

Sorry to be a bit stupid about this but I think I'm still missing something...

If I move Documents, and an app creates its own folder using a C:\Users path then there will be e.g. C:\Users\UserJ\Documents\AppFolder.

Assuming the App or OS takes proper care of things "UserJ" should in fact be the same "Julian.myPC" as there is in my current Documents path - and there is then a new folder hierarchy where the user shell folders used to be, identical in structure but not actually the user shell folders...

And since the User Shell Folders are actually somewhere else now, why should there be any problem at all? Good apps continue to work through the %userprofile% path, bad apps use their own into C:\Users and I don't quite see how this leads to any conflict?

Don't suppose for Apps that insist on using c:\users there is anyway to create a folder shortcut or some other "junction" (to replace the actual folder) that then steers it back into the "correct" %userprofile% location... is there?

Or am I just being my usual over-complicated-completely-missing-the-point self?

Julian
 

My Computer

Julian,

No, your not being over complicated at all. This whole business with junction points is a bit tricky as is. When you throw in changing the location and programs that use the old location by default, it gets even more trickier.

When you move the C:\Users\UserJ\Documents folder's defaul location, there will still be a Documents folder in the Start menu. It will just now be a shortcut (junction point) to the new location where it actually is now.

Any application that places it's own folder in the Documents folder, will continue to work no matter what. If it uses the %userprofile%\Documents path, then it should follow your Documents folder to it's new location without any problems. If it uses the C:\Users\UserJ\Documents path, then it may or may not follow the Documents new location. If not, it will simply just create a C:\Users\UserJ\Documents\appfolder to use. The only problem is that you will have two Documents folder in the Start menu that could potentially trick other programs in not seeing the new Documents folder location now because of the one created by the application.

The only way to stop a app from doing this is by uninstalling it, or if the app has a setting that you change manually to point the app to use the new Documents location instead. For example, Windows Live Messenger has a setting where you can have it place it's folder anywhere you like instead of just the default Documents folder location.

Hope this helps,
Shawn

OK, I searched the forum and cannot find an answer to this:

I've installed Vista Business x64 3 times and this problem has always occured. In all three installations I've relocated the desktop user folder to a hard drive root. In so doing, Windows seems to be unable to remember my desktop icon settings (always float left and become "medium") and my start menu doesn't show my "Show on Start Menu" icons (where IE and Mail are by default). As soon as I move the desktop folder back to it's default location this issue stops.

During the first two installs I thought it was because my original XP installation had the permissions for the drives (both the root I want for my desktop and the partition I made for Vista). However, on my most recent install, I flattened all the drives and repartitioned them using Vista itself, yet the problem still occurs.

I searched the registy for any keys matching "\desktop" to see if anything was still dependant on the original location, but nothing turned up. There's nothing else I can think of that would be causing this problem except a possible super-hidden file that isn't on my drive root.

Anyone have any ideas?

Hi DKqwerty,

Welcome to Vista X64 Forums. :party:

I tested this by doing what you did and it works fine for me with the Desktop folder. The only thing is since the Desktop is being actively used by Vista, it will leave a second yellow Desktop folder in the Start menu for reference. Other than that the Desktop is effectively relocated to C:\.

Did you create a new folder in the C:\ location to use?

Thanks for the response and the welcome.

No, I did not create a new folder in the drive root. And it's not C:\ that I'm making my desktop, it's E:\. I fail to see the need of the "New Folder" in your tutorial, it's a very redundant step. I simply used location tab to move my user desktop folder to "E:\". Everything about it works as it should (or should I say, as it did in Tweak UI for XP), including the alteration of the registry key as per your method 2. In the User folder, what was once the desktop folder disappears and is replaced with with a drive icon like in My Computer (histogram and all). I just fail to see why it can't save my desktop icon and start menu preferences only when I move the desktop, which isn't the location of those settings anyway. It's not a crippling scenario, so I don't mind it. It's just a pain in the ass, ya' know?

(Also, I didn't fully understand your comment about the start menu duplicating a desktop folder...there is no "desktop" folder in my start menu.)

DKqwerty,

I was referring to the User folder button on the right dark side of the Start menu opening as a menu item for where the Desktop folder is.

It may or may not be redundant to create a "New Folder" to select (not open) for the Desktop folder to take over, but it always worked for me using it that way. You might give it a try to see if it may help you. Hopefully it will.

Hell yeah! Service Pack Uno fixed the issue!! Thank you MS.
Thanks Brink for trying to help though.

EDIT: Well, it looks like I was wrong, SP1 did not fix my issues. However, after restarting the system after the update, the issues did not persist. It was not until my next self-initiated restart that the problem resurfaced. This leads me to believe that system updates must have their own unique shutdown protocol. Is there anyway to verify this or perhaps launch such a shutdown?

I did everything as described and something really weird happened:

1. I modified the "My Music" folder to E:\newfolder

Now, when I open the My Music folder, it suddenly a new user folder, so I have to user folders. I open my user (Filip) where all the documents, picture, music folder are. When I click on the My Music folder, all of the documents, pictures, hyperlinks folders etc. are also in the Music folder!

What happened and how do I get things back to normal?

Best

Filip

Hi Filip,

Welcome to Vista Forums. :party:

It sounds like you accidently moved all these folders into that location somehow.

See if you can do step 5 in Method One to restore each folder's default location. If not, you will need to use Method Two to manually change each folder's location back to the default location in the registry.
