Default Moving my documents photos etc.
My new laptop came with a partitioned hard drive id as C and D

I would like to move all my user data over to the D drive

Question - I can get the moving part figured out but will the My documents link etc still work? Will it always be trying to save to my C drive. I also have a mapping program tha puts map tiles in the my documents folder - would I need to do something special with that program to find the tile sets.

Reason I am asking is that my C drive is getting pretty full and the D drive is virually empty.

That will move the existing files/folders, but you also need to change the settings so that subsequent files you save will go to the new location.

OT, but does Windows Vista support file system journaling?
