Okay, I think I'm a fairly smart guy, though granted I got dumber when Vista's Desktop scheme replaced XP's. So now I'm on Win 7 and have been for a couple of years. No real issue, except one that is baffling me. When my Dell desktop died but the hard drive was still good, I got tired of poor products and poor support and bought a Falcon Northwest machine. In order to access some of the files I had on my Dell's local hard drive, I mounted it as a spare drive on my new machine (it became the E: drive) Now I'd like to get it off my machine, and am just going through and making sure I don't still have any files on there that I need. But here's what I can't figure out. When the hard drive was in my old Dell, it of course had for example a C:\Users\username\Desktop folder. That folder is now E:\Users\username\Desktop, but somehow it's still being updated like it's my actual desktop. Further, I renamed it to E:\Users\username\DesktopOLD. I then removed a file from the E:\Users\username\DesktopOLD folder, and it was then also automatically removed from my actual C:\Users\username\Desktop folder! Can anyone shed any light on how and why these two folders on separate hard drives are still linked? It's like somehow my entire E:\Documents and Settings\username folder is still being updated like it's my C: drive. Help!!??
