sanjeeve Posted August 25, 2005 Share Posted August 25, 2005 As long as you do not delete that partion and you reinstall windows on the other patition (the one without your "My Documents") You will not lose your "My Documents" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

firefoxthebomb Posted August 25, 2005 Share Posted August 25, 2005 cant you just right click on my documents and do properties and change the path there, one you change the path it will ask you if you want to move the documents to the new location.
