    OK, you simply need to right click the "My Documents" folder (either in your start menu or desktop), choose properties, and then click move, and select another drive or directory. It should ask you if you wish to move its contents too.

    Why is "Mu Documents" the only folder that does this? My Music and My Pictures should have the same feature. Is this because WMP and Paint can't find them if they are not on c drive?

    From what I've seen, Sharky Forums doesn't contain many good examples of written English. I'd steer clear if I were you, or you might get bad habits.

    One of them many things MS overlooked I think. On my system, the Pictures and Music folders are stored inside My Documents.
