Solved Strange Behavior moving personal folders

I am new to Vista and was moving my personal folders last night from my C drive to my H drive. I moved the documents folder with no problems but when I moved my Downloads folder, it disappeared and all the files from that folder were on the H drive and there was an icon for the H drive in my main personal folder. Any ideas what hapopened. I had to use system restore to repair it.

Thanks Shawn. I figured out what I did wrong and it is all good now.

I'm happy to hear that you got it sorted. What did it turn out to be?

Operator error. I didn't make a new folder and rename it when I was moving the personal folders.

LOL, oops. It happens to all of us.
