Relocation of Default Folders for Windows 7

 

The My Documents folder is a special folder that is attached to each user account as the default save location for many types of file. Normally this is located in "C:\Users\<Username>\Documents", but you may wish to change this path to another directory or drive.


To do so, browse to "C:\Users\<Username>" using Windows Explorer (Press WINDOWS KEY + E to access this). Then, right click on My Documents and select Properties:

 

Right click on My Documents and then on Properties

Now, click the Location tab at the top:

Click on the Location tab and then click on the Move button

Then click Move which allows you to select the new location for your My Documents folder. Once you have chosen a new location, click OK to confirm the change.

 

That’s it !
