Default Changing the Documents folder location
I use my primary volume (2x Raptors in RAID 0) as my operating system volume, and I use a different hard drive for storing files and whatnot. Is there a way to change where Vista thinks the location for the "documents" folder is, to my storage drive and not to the current documents folder which is on the RAID'ed drives?

Thanks!

In XP if you go to 'My computer' and right click and go to the
'properties' of My Documents folder, you can change the target folder.
It's probably the same in Vista.

Yes there is. Click start and where the documents are right click properties. Go to location tab and there click move and locate the place you want to move the documents folder.
