rculver9056 Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 For the time being, I want to use the re-arm trick with Windows 7, and do a clean install every 4th month (and probably do a fresh install every now and again when I get the key too).I want to make this as painless as possible and get more stuff set up when doing the vlite stuff, but namely moving some folders, for example: Videos, Music and Pictures from my documents folder to d:\multimedia\<folder>.Also, I want to try to keep the Library folder setup.Anyone got any ideas?Would it be possible to create a batch file to move the folders? They're just links, right?Maybe for the libraries, I could just save the info - But where woud I look to find this? Or could I use my batch file idea to do this too?I don't mind doing a few thigs after installing 7, but this config does take some time to set up initially.Also, I tried the Easy File Transfer thing, but it just messed up the moved folders so I now have 2 copies of everthing in my personal folder. That was just doing the first part (saving info).Any comments / suggestions would be appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rculver9056 Posted August 26, 2009 Author Share Posted August 26, 2009 Yes, DJ Elo - Google is my friend!I'll look into this junction thing - I did have a look at this before, but didn't really get into it (I just wanted to see what the link program did while I was nosing around the system!)Thanks for the tip.
