Hey there folks - hope everyone is having a good weekend. I haven't posted in here much over the past month or so - but, that's because I am no longer at my last day job doing VFP - now I'm working strictly as a "Freelance Prototyper" (although - I may at some point in the near future return back to one or more small VFP apps I developed in the past and try to market/sell them to the public). Anyway... I have this new PC - its a Boxx - and it came to me almost barebones - so that I could put my own HD's in there (with primary being SSD drive), Win7 I bought recently, and a hi-end video card I've owned for a while - and took out of my old machine. Problem is - I want to keep to a minimum what goes onto the primary HD - the SSD - and mostly stick w/just the OS - and couple primary apps - like my main 3D CG app & Photoshop. So - I know that in the past I have moved the My Documents folder - which I had done on some older PC's - which had either XP or Vista. Yet, on this Win7 - I can't really seem to figure how to do this. It just doesn't seem obvious. Here is where I was looking. In Windows Explorer - I did a Right-click on Documents under Libraries - then selected Properties. Now, under properties I DO see an "Include a Folder..." button. And, I'm assuming I can select a folder on another drive (which is kinda what I want to do). But, I was hoping to somehow move the whole documents folder and structure to another drive - and then make that the active My Documents folder. Do I need to essentially COPY the whole Doc's folder on C: onto another drive like F: with all the sub-folders, and THEN make it the active Doc's folder using "Include a Folder..." option button? Or - Should I literally MOVE the whole folder structure from C: to F: - and THEN make it the active Doc's folder. I just don't want to try and do it the wrong way - then have some mess that I have to attempt to cleanup since it wasn't done the right way... Thanks in advance! Kurt
