How can I move shared music/pictures to another drive?
How can I move shared music/pictures to another drive? I'm using Windows XP
Media Center Edition. Please don't respond unless you have actually sucessfully moved Shared documents and Shared Music/Pictures/Video. Let's see if we can finally get a correct answer to this question, since many customers are asking it without a correct response. Don't refer me to "http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_shell_folders.htm". It does not work. Don't tell me about TweakUI. It does not work. I already know how to right click on "My Documents", properties to move it. These are the only instructions I have found which partially work: "http://www.tweakxp.com/display.aspx?id=597" with the exception of the part about renaming the shared documents folder. But it only moves the top level Shared Documents and not Shared Music, Shared Video, Shared Pictures I don't understand why people insist that the other registry edits or TweakUI work? It is very frustrating !!!! I bet many people didn't know that it is possible to move the entire Documents and Settings folder (Q236621). Changing ProfilesList chages the location for any new user. I have done this, but it is not what I am after. Since all the settings are in Documents and Settings you can't log-in if that drive is missing (I seem to recall). I wan't to keep the settings on C:. But move the shared documents to another drive. Sorry for being harsh and thanks !!! |
