Scarecrow Man Posted March 7, 2007 Report Share Posted March 7, 2007 The My Documents folder can easily be moved by right clicking the icon folder; on the start menu, desktop or My Computer.Right Click > properties. Click Move, and select the new location. I recomend moving it to a seperate partition, or better yet a seperate drive. This way if your drive fails, you do not lose all your work.
