Hi... my name is kungfupanda from indonesia...


i am going to do a clean install of windows 7...


i'd like to ask,


1) how to move the user folders from C to D?

what folders can i move? is it only pics/vids/docs/downloads only.

or can i move the desktop folder too?


*without removing the e
ntire user profile to D*


is it safe to move the my docs/my vids/my pics to partition D from the default C (win 7 partition)?



2) I read somewhere that there is a way to move the entire user profile to partition D when you do a clean windows 7 install?


may i ask which one is safer...?


move the entire user profile to D on a clean install?
or move the my docs/my vids/my pics only...?


so sorry and many thank you's....

is D a separate hard drive...
if so...
go here to move the My Documents folder to another drive
if its a small partition on the only hard drive its probably a recovery partition...
