Is there any way to move the Public folders in Vista? I'm familiar with how
to move a user's folder (Properties > Location, etc.), but the Public folders
don't seem as easy to move.
I have a physicially separate drive (Z:), and I'd like to point the Public
folders there. Thanks!
 
Inside the main Public folder, all the folders marked Public, Documents, etc.
have the location tab so the can be relocated.

Strangely this is possible *only* if UAC is turned off (would be very happy to
understand why)

Any action you start that affects all of the users on the system should get
a UAC prompt. This is what UAC is all about. Only an administrator is
allowed to make global changes that affects all users.
 
Giles,

Turning off UAC worked like a charm. Thanks!

Paul,

I wonder whether your current account has elevated privileges. Just a thought.
