Open a My Computer window on D, another on C:\Documents and Settings\yourname\ to show My Documents (and similar) , then with the *right* Mouse button down, drag the My Documents across, and on release take *Move* here That will move the files (which probably add to a lot of disk use) and update the registry so references to 'My Documents'look in the right place -- Alex Nichol MS MVP (Windows Technologies) Bournemouth, U.K. (remove the D8 bit) |
