| Moving "My DOcuments" and remainder of "My" files to second drive
From XP experience I can easily move My DOcuments from one location to another AND it moves all aditional folders such as Desktop, Pictures, etc. Great! Now, Vista has all folders separate so you have to relocate them individually. So here's my problem: 1. My second HD is called Bookshelf; 2. I create a new folder in Bookshelf named personal; 3. I go back to my desktop, right-click on "Documents", Location and Move...; 4. I point to: Bookshelf/personal/ and click OK; 5. Vista starts to move the files. WHen it's done, the folder "personal" is no longer there, all of the contents of "Documents" is now on the root directory. If I try to create the folder "personal" it comes back and tells me that the folder already exists but there's nothing. I then try to do the same with another folder such as Pictures. I point to Bookshelf again but this time, instead of making a folder called "Pictures", it just dumps all of the contenst intothe root directory AGAIN! So now all my files are all mixed up! Is there an easy way for me to have folder structure that looks kinda like: Bookshelf/Documents Bookshelf/Pictures Bookshelf/Videos AND have Vista point to the right place??? Thanks, milkeyway |
