Just a quick question, hopefully one which is simple to answer :)
I've got 2 HDs, but I plan to keep my music on the drive which doesn't have Windows on it. Is there any way I can make the icons in the start menu, and in My Documents, etc, point to a folder other than "My Music", i.e. the folder on the other hard drive?
Cheers in advance.
You can redirect My Documents (and hence it's contents) by right clicking it on your desktop and selecting Properties. In there you can point My Documents anywhere, and even move the current contents of your My Documents if need be. This is particularly handy if you want to make sure all your docs etc are safe on a RAIDed drive in a file server :D (like I do)
Heh, I was thinking that, but I don't really want the entire contents of My Documents on the other drive, just select folders. Could help a bit though, so ta :)
I just use short cuts tbh.
Yeah just use a shortcut... You can use Tweakui to hide shortcut arrows and you can use the same icon thats used for the original My Pictures folder simply by pointing the folder properties (Customize, Change Icon) to the the relevant icon.
The only issue is that some programs use the My Pictures folder automatically as their file dump... So you might have to check in any graphics editing software for the default load / save location and amend it as applicable.
