Hi
Is it possible to change the location of the MY DOCUMENTS folder to a 2nd slave hard drive.

I have been backing it up weekly to a CD, but due to computer problems I would like the contents to automatically be stored on a 2nd hard drive. (One that is just for documnets and email store)

I'm aware it can be copied manually, but I'm after automatically? Is this possible. Thanks.

Not only is it possible, but as far as I'm concerned it's downright recommended. Personally I never keep my data on the same partition as Windows.

Simply right-click the "My Documents" desktop icon and select properties. Change the path in the target to whatever you want (e.g. D:\My Documents), and hit "Apply". You will then be asked if you want to move your data to the new location. Select "Yes" and you're all set.
