    Hi all - Just curious how those of you with two hard drives in laptop and WITHOUT raid setup up your system. This idea came from a discussion on our Toshiba forums but I thought I'd open it up to a more general audience.

    RIght now I've got the paging file on the D drive and all of the document folders there as well. I'd be curious as to some other things those of you with two seperate hard drives are doing.

    How did you move the favorites folder? I've been trying to do that for ages with FF, but haven't had any luck yet.

    You are going to be so surprised how easy it is. It is done in exactly the same was as the "documents" folder. See the attachment.

    Oh my, it looks like the attachments option is not working on the forums right now.

    Well just go to your user folder, right click on the Favorites folder there and select properties. Then select the "Location" tab and there is a button there that will allow you to move the folder. You can also do this with the Pictures folder and the Music folder there as well.
