This has got to be easy, but I can't find the option. I
have a large harddrive (200GB,) but the system partition
(c:) is only 13GB. I want to point MY Documents and
other Shared Folders (Music, Pictures, etc.) to the d:\
drive or change the partition size. Is there an easy
answer to this one? Thanks.

Hi Tim,

You can point the My documents folder and the folders below My documents to
a different location. Please find the step by step instruction on how to
perform the redirection in the article below.

I hope that answers your query.

Thank you,
