Using 2 hard drives

[Mandevu]

I am running Vista Home Premium on a 64 bit system with 2 hard drives. C I use for Vista O/S and all Program software, D I use for all my data. Accordingly I have created folders on D to accept this data (Documents, pictures etc.)
Vista is configured so that folders like Documents, Pictures, Music etc are located on C drive by default. Consequently, to locate or save data on D I have to navigate my way out of C each time.
Is there a way I can get Vista data files to default to D? Is the solution as simple as moving Vista's data files from C to D? Would appreciate your comments.

Hi Mandevu,

Welcome to Vista Forums.

This tutorial will show you how to relocate these user folders so that the data is stored in the location you specify with still being able to access them through the Start menu as usual.

Hope this helps,
