Last week I built a new PC with Win7 Pro 64. I've been using XP since it hit the shelf, up until now. The new system has two hard drives, the second being just for document (music, video...) files. In XP there was a way to redirect the default storage to another drive. I"m sure it's there just can't find it. I don't want My Documents to even exist on the primary drive. Anybody?

if you navigate to C:\users\<username> you should see the documents folder (not the library shortcut), you can right click that and choose properties and you should see the option to move the folder
