Is there a way i can make the default "My Documents" folder on another drive? Cause i put all my files and stuff on a storage drive, but when i press save in word and such it goes to the "My Documents" folder on C:

Right click on it, and click properties.

Then change the target folder.

right click the my documents folder, go properties, and then in the target box change it to the drive that you want them to be on.

I think you can also right click and drag it where ever you want and that changes its default default location also... Something like that. I know I read a tip and have done something like that before - it doesn't only move the folder but it updates the location.

I just use TweakUI to change the My Documents system folder location on mine.

Yes, because each user has his own my documents folder.
