Set My Documents on a Different Drive

Thetarget folder for "My Documents" is default to be a folder inthe C drive (or the "System" drive) i.e. "C:\Documentsand Settings\....\My Documents".
It's better to change My Documents to another drive because when Windowscrashes, "My Documents" is not effected.
Steps to change(for example, to "D" drive):
  • Navigate to "My Documents" using one of the following methods. 
    -- Start > Programs > Accessories > Windows Explorer, "My Documents" should be listed under "Desktop". 
  • Right click on "My Documents"and select "Properties".
Change documents default location
  • Under the "Target" tab, enter the desired location in the "Target:" box or click "Move" and select a target folder. (for example, enter "D:\My Documents"). If the target folder does not exist, you'll get a prompt to create it on the next step.
  • Click "Apply".
    If the target folder does not exist, Windows will prompt a message to create the folder.
  • At the prompt to move the existing files and folders from the old location to the new location, click "Yes".
  • Click "OK".
