How can I change the physical location of "My Documents" folder?

Postby ModeratorNA » Tue May 31, 2016 11:55 am

My Documents folder for user account is present in the %Userprofile% folder:
for example. C:\Documents and Settings\Anant\My Documents. Here anant is a user account name. If you want to change the My Documents folder to a different partition, follow this method:

1. Create a folder in a different drive.
2. Assign appropriate folder permissions.
3. Open My Computer window.
4. From Desktop, right-click My Documents and choose Properties.
5. Type the target folder path and click Apply.
