It's possible to change individual folders (e.g. My Music, My Pictures) to other drive/folders, how is it possible to change the main "user files" My Documents folder to another folder on the D:\? 7 seems to lack the ability to simply change the entire My Documents folder location altogether. I keep everything on D:\ for when I have to format C:\ and don't want to worry about losing important stuff.

For clarification this is not about libraries which I have hidden and don't care about as it's useless replicated "functionality".

Open up your user directory where My Documents is visible. Right click and select properties. Then under the Location tab select Move... and then the location you want to move it to.

    The guide I gave came from Windows 7 - and if you'd taken the time to try it you'd have found that it works...
