Yes. You can redirect the system folders to a folder on another drive (assuming you are on a windows machine 7x 8x 10x). Other systems I am not sure.
Best way is to copy the entire documents folder and paste onto your other drive, then right-click on the ORIGINAL documents folder itself, in the tree on the left, and click the "Location Tab". You can select another folder on another drive.
Don't remove your original Documents folder or anything in it incase it causes problems, if it does just redirect it back to where it was originally.

This method will only work for the entire documents folder, as it will change where Windows automatically saves anything set to go into Documents. So right-click and copy on the Documents folder itself. Then when you change the location you can point it to whereever you pasted it to.

No. Please don't CUT. COPY. Don't delete the original documents folder as it's a protected system file and if it doesn't work you will have issues. 1: Open up Windows Explorer. 2: Locate the Documents or My Document folder in the LEFT pane. Right-Click and click COPY. 3: Go to your drive D, and in the RIGHT pane, right-click an empty space and click PASTE. 4: Right-Click again on the Documents or My Documents folder in the LEFT pane, (NOT THE ONE YOU JUST PASTED), and click the Location tab. Click on MOVE, then browse to the pasted Documents folder in drive D, select THAT folder, not what is inside it. Note: You should make sure you have "view hidden files" turned ON before copying and pasting. If you are unsure, best to leave it and ask someone who knows what they are doing to do it for you  |
