Separating Data & Programs
I always keep my data on a separate partition from the C: partition. This
enables me to image the C: partition and restore it if there is any problem without losing my data. On XP you could simply move My Documents. This doesn't appear to be available in Vista. How can this be done in Windows Vista?

Separating Data & Programs
Hi,
Open Windows Explorer to C:\Users\username\Documents, right click the folder and choose properties. You can move it on the Location tab. -- Best of Luck, Rick Rogers, aka "Nutcase" - Microsoft MVP http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/ Windows help - www.rickrogers.org "Wayne Magor" Wayne wrote in message ...

If you already have all your documents in another location, right click on the Documents shortcut and modify the path to where you have your documents.

I've found you can Cut/Paste the folders to a new location.
Some of the Folders - Desktop & Favorites, However, end up having two locations, so I do not move those. "Wayne Magor" wrote: I always keep my data on a separate partition from the C: partition.
