Solve : Possible to change default DiskDrive??

Answer»

*I am running Windows XP on a custom built computer, which was new only a few months ago.*
I have two Hard Disk Drives, the standard C: drive, and my personal ONE (with usable, large amounts of memory) E: drive. Occasionally when I download something (such as iTunes) it goes directly into C: even after I specify that I want it to save into my E:. I am guessing this is because it is the default or something.. ?
I need to know if it is possible for everything to be saved into my E: instead, since my C: has extremely limited and small amounts of free memory, and even the smallest files fill it, and cause my computer to not run properly. Could someone please inform me as to whether this is possible or not?
My DOCUMENTS can be made to use another folder or drive..
If you are 'Bill', create a folder structure like this:
E:\Bill\MyDocs
Next, on your desktop, right click my documents and select properties.

You will see an option to move the documents to a new folder.
Specify the drive and folder you have just made and click on move.
Wait for the system to move your stuff. Reboot your computer. Most programs will have enough sense to know that the user documents for 'Bill' are now somewhere else. My Music is inside of the My Documents, so it will also be in the new location.
This only apples to one user. In this case 'Bill' nit  JOHN and Mary still have their stuff on the C: drive. That is why we use the user name in the directory structure. Everybody has to have their own place.

Thank-you! That was exactly what I NEEDED. Please push the thank button.

This is my first time using this forum, so I wasn't aware of that action, but yes, I thanked you. :]

More LIKELY than not there's a reason for that. Quote from: Allan on January 10, 2010, 06:47:33 AM

Can you say 'pushy'?  I knew you could. Quote from: Geek-9pm on January 09, 2010, 09:58:01 PM

Allow me to break-down:

1100 of those posts are posts arguing about "DNS hijacking" which, since it's must be happening, your semi-anti-MS rants about how great Caldera DR-DOS was and the awful things that Microsoft did to break it, blah blah, dear god, microsoft broke my television... something about missing cheese, etc. (now, that being said, they were really more conversations then arguments and were quite fun.

702 are amusing if not completely irrelevant observations that are often based on a awful and corny pun and are also posted in a different font, typeface, colour, and font weight.

the rest, save around 100, are pretty much agreeing with other posters by paraphrasing exactly what they said. (not necessarily a bad thing, mind you.)
