How to move Documents and Settings and All Libraries To D drive to separate from the OS

I want to move my Documents and settings Folder to D drive so I can back up the OS separate from Data or at least move Libraries to D drive. I have partitioned my hard drive so that most of the space is on D drive and about 100G is on C drive. I can't understand why the old My Documents file structure was changed where now it is called Libraries and My Documents is a sub folder to that and My Music, My Picture etc are not in My Documents anymore. Let’s just randomly shuffle directories to enhance the Window 7 experience. If you have not already figured out I am an XP user. I know there is a way to do what I want to do because virtually all corporate systems are setup this way.
Oh how the heck to I get access to Documents and Settings? Well sometimes programs hide stuff there. Like why does Zune software hide your album art in documents and settings that you spent hours downloading and fixing so that when you move my music that all your album art does not go with it.

Hi,
In Windows Vista and Windows 7, the “My Documents and Settings“, has been replaced by "Users". The My Documents, My Music, My Pictures, and
My Videos folders in Windows XP are transferred to the following folders in Windows 7:
%systemdrive%\Users\user_name\Documents
%systemdrive%\Users\user_name\Music
%systemdrive%\Users\user_name\Pictures
%systemdrive%\Users\user_name\Videos
You can find your user files in the above folders and move them to the drive you like.
For more information, please refer to

It applies to Windows 7.
Hope it helps.

When I visit the two quoted knowledge base links from Windows 7 I get -
System TipThis article applies to a different version of Windows than the one you are using. Content in this article may not be relevant to you.Visit the Windows 7 Solution

In other words your reply does not apply to Windows 7.
Do you please have an answer which does apply to Windows 7?

    Did you activate home sharing in both your iTunes and ATV?
    Also try signing out of the ATV (Apple ID) and signing back in again.

  • How to move iTunes and Library to External Hard Drive

    Is it possible to move the program and its contents to an external hard drive? The external can hold much more and it would be easier to bog down my external hard drive every so often than try to keep iTunes and its contents on my Mac.

    Yes providing you use

    Once you are positive that the External is working to your Satisfaction you can Delete your iTunes Library off your computer.

    Start iTunes with the Option key held down and Choose library... and select the iTunes folder you copied to the external drive.

  • Should the admin/user folder and all of its sub folders be moved to the hdd or just parts of it? (eg. picture, movies, documents)  What is the best way to go about doing this.  Also should a 2t hdd be partitioned.

    iMac with 256ssd and 2t hdd. Should the admin/user folder and all of its sub folders be moved to the hdd or just parts of it? (eg. picture, movies, documents)  What is the best way to go about doing this.  Also should a 2t hdd be partitioned.

    Yes, you can move your user directories to the HD and keep your OSX and Applications on the SSD drive.
    Whether you partition your HD or not depends on how much data you have and how you propose to use your HD.
    Are you planning to use your iMac as a Time Machine backup volume? If so, partition it off.
    Do you have huge data files, eg video, music, photos?
    How much of your 2tb drive will be "free" once it is loaded with all your data?
    A little more information is required before the optimal configuration can be recommended for your use.

  • How can I print a whole email document and not a "screen shot" like I get in the Print Preview option.

    How can I print a whole email document and not a "screen shot" like I get in the Print Preview option. I'd like to print from "file" and print" like I can on other browsers (IE, for example). When I try to print from Firefox it grabs all my info (file folders, etc.) from the left side of the page. I need just the email information, not the entire screen information. Thank you!
    -Bruce

    I agree; I should, but I can't :) I have an orange Firefox drop down that I go to to print, and it allows me to select "print", "print preview" and "print setup", where I can change the margins. It always defaults to a full screen shot (I use Yahoo) and does not show just the email. I don't need to print what is on the left side of the screen or anything other than the email (I can achieve these things by using file-print from IE, so I know it is doable, and I am still going into Yahoo and using their email when I do it).
    Hope this helps. I'm not a fan of IE, but I really don't like the print properties I'm getting here (I'm a long time Mozilla user, but I'm losing too much info with this option and can't afford that anymore).
    Thanks for the help!

  • How to delete documents and data off of iphone 4s

    Im trying to free up some room on my phone. I got rid of some apps and movies and did what i can but when i plug my phone in there is more Documents & data then i have as apps and music. i just want to get ride of some documents that are saved in my phone but  dont now hot to delete them.

    Document & Data on iPhone is junks files including browser history, cookies, logs, caches of photos and videos, database files stored by your apps. You’ll notice that some apps while being very small themselves have accumulated a lot of data. An example of this is shown in the image below, you see that the Facebook app is 109 MB whereas the Documents & Data stored is 1.2 GB. This 1.2 GB is what goes into your “Other” data.
    These apps on iPhone don’t provide a way to delete Documents and Data, uninstalling and reinstalling the app is not the best option here. With the help of CleanMyPhone or PhoneClean you can delete the documents and data on iPhone without deleting the app itself.

  • How do you move itunes and iphoto to an extrernal drive, and have them still recognized on the computer

    How do you move itunes and iphoto to an extrernal drive, and have them still recognized on the computer.

    Step 1 - copy the relevant folders to your external drive.
    For iTunes, that would be yourusername/Music/iTunes (and everything underneath it, exactly as is).
    For iPhoto that would be yourusername/Pictures/iPhoto Library
    Step 2 - next time you start iTunes (and iPhoto) hold down the Option key while you click the application icon.  You will get a question box that will allow you to point iTunes (and iPhoto) to the new location on your external drive.
    Step 3 - after verifying that everything is working correctly with the libraries on your external drive, delete them from your internal drive.  Be sure to empty the trash.
    As always, it is best practice to always have a backup copy of your data ... just in case something goes wrong.

  • HT5622 I lost all my pictures! Please help:( I added all my photo to a new album from the camera roll and i delete the picture that already move to new album, at last all my picture was gone !:'( Please, anyway to recover back all my photo? please help :'

    I lost all my pictures! Please help:( I added all my photo to a new album from the camera roll and i delete the picture that already move to new album, at last all my picture was gone !:'( Please, anyway to recover back all my photo? please help :'( Apple Service Center or Branch can help?

    Albums is a way or sorting photos. Photos aren't moved from the Camera roll. The Camera Roll consists of all the photos on the phone. If you delete from Camera Roll they are deleted everywhere but Photo Stream.
    Are you using Photo Stream? Your photos, providing they wer recent should still be in Photo Stream. If you have Photo Stream set up on your computer they should all be there.

    In messages, at "receive at" it says "error" next to my phone number and all texts i send seem to come from my email... how do i solve this?

    T he general concensus to fix this is to turn off Facebook and iMessage for a couple of minutes. Then turn them back on again and it seems to get them activated.

    How to move contacts and messages from Samsung Galaxy S3 to iPhone5?

    As long as you had the Android data synced with your Google account, they should be there when you sync it on your new phone. That is by far the easiest way.
    I think there is also an import/export option when you hit the menu button in the contacts app. and you could export them to SD card and import them on the new phone using the same SD card.
    Or you can use Mobile Transfer to transfer data between Android smartphone. It is really simple, follow this guide to move contacts from Samsung S3 to iPhone 5.
