Change the default file for downloads and some user folders locations

A big thank you to all who have helped me, more recently DAXnnn and try * 3.  I come once more in need with questions.  For the cleaning of my boot partition before cloning to a smaller SSD, I'm getting cause folders USER My Documents, my music, my pictures, and my videos to be moved to a different physical disk drive.  I also want to do the same with the downloads.  After trying to use MKLINK (without success) and the location of the tab in the properties for folders (in vain), try * 3 put me on editing the registry.  While I did not yet any change, I followed his instructions to look under HKEY > CurrentUser > software > Microsoft > Windows > CurrentVersion > Explorer > Shell user folders and confirm watch registry.

What I found is that the actions I took before running into problems using the options of localities had caused registry entries updated to show the new names of path of My Documents (under personal in the registry path) and my music.  This leaves downloads, my pictures, and my videos to be changed before the data transfer of the boot partition to reduce before cloning.  I discovered the writings of my pictures and my videos contain a variable %UserProfile% then the names of folders.  My assumption (often a wrong thing to do, I know) is that I can change these entries replacing %UserProfile% with the name of path, including the drive etc letter describing where I want to move the old data and write new data and changes.  IS THAT CORRECT?

Regarding downloads, what I discovered is the second entry in HKEY > CurrentUser > software > Microsoft > Windows > CurrentVersion > Explorer > User Shell Folders, below (default) is a name {374DE290-123F-4565-9164-...}, displayed once indicating the value of % USERPROFILE%\Downloads.  Using my penchant for the skip logic, I assume that I can edit this article replace the value data with the path name where I want future writing downloads.  IS THAT CORRECT?

If I can confirm or correct information, I am very close to stripping the size of my partition boot prefixed operation clone to place what's left on my SSD.

Thanks to all for participating in such a large forum community!

Yes you are right.  If you want that your download location for be moved, just change:

Old: %userprofile%\downloads

New: E:\OtherDrive\Some Windows\

This will make all your downloads stored in the folder 'folder of some '.  Just be sure to include a folder name and make sure that this folder actually exists.  Make sure not to say a disc like E:\ or all your documents could get dumped at the top of this reader, rather than in a folder.

    Hello

    I'm trying to change the default ports for http and https

    I have a 506th PIX (which does NOT of NAT)

    I have the following: -.

    static (inside, outside) tcp 192.168.10.2 601 192.168.10.2 http netmask 255.255.255.255 0 0

    See you soon.

    I apologise for not thinking correctly.

    the static method must be:

    static (inside, outside) tcp 192.168.10.2 80 192.168.10.2 601 netmask 255.255.255.255 0 0

  • Change the default settings for registration and opening.

    When I'm in a file and choose "Save as", I need to find the location.  But then the very next file I do the same thing and I looking for it all over again.  Is there a way to backup a specific folder or default directory at any time.  Currently, it is by default in my office in most cases.  The same thing happens when I search for a file, open it and then go to open another file in the same folder.  This seems to be a huge waste of time and was not like that in previous versions.  Thank you for any input!

    He has no control in Vista to make the changes you want to make for Vista itself.  David has provided default values for Windows 2000 and Windows XP, but not for Vista.  I can't find them for Vista- but they are what you feel and are entered into the system without installation available control to modify the default values (and I couldn't even find a way to do it with a registry hack).  Unfortunately, he must live with what you have.

    In most other cases program, it is controlled by the program itself (and varies according to the program0.  Some of these programs have commands to adjust the default settings (again, this depends on the program).  You will have to search for the documentation of the program or visit their web site (or call them for technical assistance) for more information on each program.

  • Change the default format for burning discs of this system active files in the ISO image format

    How can I change the default format for burning discs of this system of active files to ISO image format?  I don't want the active file as the default system and really don't want to have to choose what I want to use the default every time.  It's boring. I have Vista x 64 on my computer and have not yet adapted to all the changes in XP.

    Thanks, but it's not useful.  It is more that an 'improvement' Microsoft did that, as I fear, is a total and far failure to be an improvement.  It also means that I'll just use a 3rd party program to burn all my CD/DVDs.  You know if I wanted to be able to remove, reformat, etc.. CD/DVD I would use those rewritable.  That's why they exist.

  • Change the default DPI for scanning in paint

    How can I change the default values for scanning for painting so that each scan is 300 dpi?

    I'll give you an answer. What the interrogator does not understand, is that MS Paint does not have a setting for the CIO. There is no default DPI setting in MS Paint. The setting is controlled by the scanner driver or scanner itself. MS Paint simply communicates with the driver for the scanner, which then continues to do the analysis, then once completed, he hands the digitized data back to MS Paint. Therefore, the parameters of the interrogator wants to know how to change are not in MS Paint. they are in the driver scanning interface. This driver determines how he manages the parameters after returning the scanned data to the connection/disconnection of call program, in this case MS Paint. Most of the drivers scan all right back to their default value. In the case of the user, it's 100 dpi, but another scanner, this could be 150dpi (common with many scanners a few years back), and by default most recent scanners often at 200 dpi. After scanning, you need to change the defaults anywhere from new, because once the scanner driver handed the scan back data to the calling program, it is no longer in communication with her. It doesn't matter whether you use MS Paint, Picasa, IrfanView, or any other program that connects to the scanner TWAIN. If you start with a scanner that has a default of 300 dpi, you would have thought that it was a question on. You can not insistent that no one answered your question if it is based on the wrong premise at first.

    Some scanners allow control of the scanner itself. I use a HP (all-in-One) printer/scanner combination. I can configure default to the control panel of the printer/scanner at 300 dpi or whatever value I want; I often put it at 600 dpi. Then I can scan directly from the scanner/printer and still get 300/600 dpi scans. By default the program to manage the registered file type determines which program will be executed when the image is sent to the computer. It could be MS Paint or IrfanView or whatever. Very often, I send the scans on a SD card on the printer instead. When I'm finished, I have a SD card with images scanned at 300 dpi that I take to another computer. Because the scanner/printer has been set to use 300 dpi by default, MS Paint, IrfanView or any other program that launches a scan will get also 300 dpi scans.

    What the questioner needs is a scanner which allows its default value to or one that is default to 300 dpi in a first time. If you try a new scanner, you will find that the parameters does not return to 100 dpi, but instead has regardless of the definition of the scanner as default.

    Given that most of the pilots to simple scanner always return to the default devices, and in this case, setting this parameter scanner is only 100 dpi, you can use a software that is specially designed to solve this program with its own resolution settings. An example is called "search". In its interface, you choose what the desired resolution, then when it communicates with the scanner, he deals with the change in the value whenever a scan is requested.

    If you use color or grayscale is a separate choice outside the DPI setting. Some scanners can scan to a different resolution for shades of gray than they do for the color. Nevertheless, the problem and the solution is the same.

  • How can I change the default file locations in the dialog box "Save as" in Windows 7 x 64?

    I tried all the tips and tricks of WinXP, but they do not seem to work in Win7. Does anyone know how to change the location of the default files for the dialog box "Save as" in Win7?

    It seems, in Windows 7, that you cannot change locations by default save as file.

    In XP, we could modify the registry or use other methods to change the location of the files that appear on the left margin of the Save as dialog box. But some Morón in Redmond chose to end with good sense and called "libraries."

    I really wish Microsoft would stop doing what they think, it's the best for Grandma and little Suzy and give us what expect when we pay for these programs.
