| Thanks a lot . This worked perfectly. I've never used links in Windows | before. They call them Junctions for folders. I just copied over my | Documents and Download Directories to my D: drive and put Junctions on the | C drive to these after removing them from that drive. Thanks a lot for the | pointer. I'm not a Windows user. But here is another approach. Most computers I buy come with Windows pre-installed. Sometimes they have the OS on c: and everything else on d: (Separate filesystems, potentially on separate drives). This is what you want. I don't trust links in Windows. They were added late and (if I remember correctly) in a quirky way. I don't know/remember how to split a C: drive into a C: and D: drive. Google would probably know but I'm too lazy to look. It may involve the Volume Manager. --- Post to this mailing list [email protected] Unsubscribe from this mailing list https://gtalug.org/mailman/listinfo/talk
