    Hi, i recently installed Vista Ultimate on my VAIO FZ11L laptop, everything runs fine and all works well.

    My problem is that i cant seem to change the location of my documents. the only way i know is to right click your documents on the start menu or on the desktop, click 'properties' and do it though there, but in the right click menu there isnt any 'properties' option, i can go into my computer, click my documents in the right pane and press 'alt' so i get the top menu and theres 'properties' in that, but when i do nothing happens!

    A few dhours before this i was in the services disabling ones that dont need running, do you think any of these services could have done this?

    I cant sem to figure it out.

    Thanks in advanced!

    I know there is a registry key that controls this per user. However, I don't know the exact key in Vista.

    What services, specifically, did you disable? This info could be helpful.
