Moving profile folders to another drive
I use the Run app in windows an awful lot. I know the new start menu in Vista/7 offer a more advanced indexed version of the run command but I just can’t shake the habit. Also it doesn’t do the common folders a developer is looking for, such as Desktop, Temp folder etc etc.
The main problem with it after you have moved all of the profile folders to another drive, is that you cannot get to folders like the desktop, Windows just cannot find them anymore. I know you could probably go into the registry and start hacking around and telling Windows where else to go for the user folders but that just never sat quite right with me.
So here is a neat little trick I found, goto the user folder (C:\Users\Logaan) and create a shortcut with the same name as the folder you wish to get to.
Its so simple and I cannot believe that I found this years ago.
Its so cool you can even create links to other folders that you cannot usually get to in this fashion.
Enjoy.
