    Hey. I have Vista installed and I was wondering how do you redirect your documents to another hard drive partition? I remember in XP you were able to find a new target but this one I can't seem to fine it. Can anyone help me? Thanks.

    i'm just thinking on the top of my head right now. i think all you have to do is click start, right click my documents, click properties an choose your new destination.

    Ok that did redirect the folder "documents" to my partition, but when I double click on my "user name folder" on the desktop it shows up with all the other folders plus my partition.

    If you're comfortable with registry entires, this XP information may apply to Vista as well.

    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders

    Edit your "Personal" key.

    I'll try after the Superbowl. Good luck.
