The Notebook Review forums were hosted by TechTarget, who shut down them down on January 31, 2022. This static read-only archive was pulled by NBR forum users between January 20 and January 31, 2022, in an effort to make sure that the valuable technical information that had been posted on the forums is preserved. For current discussions, many NBR forum users moved over to NotebookTalk.net after the shutdown.

    Hey to Vista Users:

    How do you change the directory for your user files to another partition? My documents and everything is on D: drive and I want to change it so when I double click my user name it will bring me to that partition instead of some folder in drive C:

    Right click on Documents-->Properties-->Location-->Move. Select the folder you want & hit Apply. Do the same for Pictures, Music etc.

    Do remember to change the permissions on the target folder. Otherwise you will get a permissions error.
