Relocating Public folders
Is there any way to move the Public folders in Vista? I'm familiar with how
to move a user's folder (Properties Location, etc.), but the Public folders don't seem as easy to move. I have a physicially separate drive (Z  , and I'd like to point the Public folders there. Thanks! -- - Greg http://gregsedwards.spaces.live.com

Relocating Public folders
Inside the main Public folder, all the folders marked Public, Documents, etc.
have the location tab so the can be relocated. -- Paul "Greg Edwards" wrote: Is there any way to move the Public folders in Vista?

Relocating Public folders
Ref: de PaulB
Inside the main Public folder, all the folders marked Public, Documents, etc. have the location tab so the can be relocated. Strangely this is possible *only* if UAC is turned off (would be very happy to understand why) -- Gilles "Cool Raoul" - http://coolraoul.cvp-net.com/

I have UAC on and I can relocate them. I'm not sure why you can't.

Any action you start that affects all of the users on the system should get a UAC prompt. This is what UAC is all about. Only an administrator is allowed to make global changes that affects all users. -- Ronnie Vernon Microsoft MVP Windows Desktop Experience "Gilles Pion" wrote in message ...

Microsoft confirms that this problem exists: http://support.microsoft.com/?scid=k...33127&x=8&y=11 "When you try to move a public folder in Windows Vista, the Move button may be missing" -- Gilles "Cool Raoul" - http://coolraoul.cvp-net.com/

Relocating Public folders
Giles,
Turning off UAC worked like a charm. Thanks! Paul, I wonder whether your current account has elevated privileges. Just a thought. -- - Greg http://gregsedwards.spaces.live.com "PaulB" wrote: I have UAC on and I can relocate them.
