SHOW ICONS ON DESKTOP AND MOVE MY DOCUMENTS FOLDER

Featured Replies

I have searched for these tweaks, but cannot find them anywhere.

I need to have the MY COMPUTER and MY DOCUMENTS icons shown by default on the desktop (when using new start menu).

I would also like to move MY DOCUMENTS to another drive (D:\My Documents). I know I have seen this before, but I could not find it when searching for it.

Any help would be appreciated, and remember I DID search, but couldn't find the answers!

11. Please refrain from using CAPITALIZATIONS in the topic title or when participating in threads because they will not attract attention - instead it will annoy many of MSFN's members.

Please read Forum Rules.

Thank you

as for your second question,use the following code in a bat file

reg add "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders" /v "Personal" /t REG_EXPAND_SZ /d "F:\My Documents" /f

change "F:\My Documents" to meet your need

hope this helps
