Changing the Location Of Special Folders

You can modify the registry to change the location of special folders like:

  • My Documents
  • Favorites
  • My Pictures
  • Personal
  1. Start Regedit
  2. Go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders
  3. Double click on any locations you want to change and alter the path
  4. Logoff or restart for the changes to go into effect

Note: TweakUI from Microsoft will allow you to make these changes from a dialog box as well
