Accidentally changed user folder to drive. Help?
Hello everybody! (names for things might be different in English. Sorry if I confuse) I just got Vista Ultimate x64 on my system, and I've been changing the placement of the user folders to my secondary drive, because I want to keep the main drive as a system and application drive, and not a media/document drive. This worked nicely (I even followed a tutorial here to change the icons!) until i accidentally changed the directory of the documents folder to E:\ (the secondary drive) and not E:\documents as i should. Now the entire E-drive is listed in the user folders, and I can not change it (that would mean changing the directory of the drive, and that is nonsensical) All this would have been no problem if I could change which folders were listed in the user folders folder, but I am unable to delete entries, and to give new entries the same options as old ones (like a tab for placement in properties). TL;DR/summary: How do I delete the E:\ drive entry in user folders, and how do I make a new one for documents? Thank you in advance! Edit: My DVD-station is D:\ in case you wondered why i called the tertiary letter the secondary drive. -- Crowzah |

Hello Crowzah, You can use Option Two in this tutorial below to change the Documents (Personal) folder to the correct path in the registry. http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/14...ng-folder.html Hope this helps, Shawn -- Brink *There are no dumb questions, just the people that do not ask them.* '*Windows 7 Forums*' (http://www.sevenforums.com/) *and* '*::Vista Forums::*' (http://www.vistax64.com) *Please post feedback to help others.* |

Cheers, Brink (option two doesnt work. Trying option 3) I really hope this will not delete my E-drive... If it does, I will (maybe) hold you (a little) (emotionally) responsible :P -- Crowzah |
