How to get links into folders to drive C (startup disk) to refer to items stored on drive D (storage only)?

Good afternoon.

My apologies for what is probably a very simple question, but unfortunately I've had encephalytis, have a very bad memory and if forgot a lot of my computer knowledge since the last set up a new computer several years ago.

Perhaps unsurprisingly, I count a lot on IT with my State and so decided to update my old computer with something faster and capable. I built myself a new computer recently, with two disks in mirror of SS for initializing and launching the software, as I wanted the fastest answer for these functions. Then I have two hard drives mirrored 10 000 rpm, which I intend to use only for storage - documents, photos, music... etc. This system has Windows 7 Professional installed.

This is where my memory is me drop.

I need to know how to start the shortcuts from the menu links and desktop which currently refer to the 'My Documents', 'My music', 'My videos' records and so forth that Windows created on the C drive and instead, ask them to refer to folders on the drive D. I tried the expediency of simple cut and paste the files in question in D drive hoping that Windows would automatically follow that change and create the links required, but this does not seem to happen. In any case, doing so caused problems, and I needed wipe the readers and to reload the operating system and all of my software again.

Moreover, that Windows has already been reference to the files on the C drive, is possible to keep this association - as this is what Windows expects and would likely stop the least - but create links between files on drives C and D, so that when the folders on drive C are accessible through my desktop shortcuts they refer to the content of the folders on drive D? If possible, I would greatly appreciate a detailed guide, step by step on how to implement, as I can just remember how to do this.

Any help you could offer would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you very much

Stephen Wallace.

Moving most of the shell, such as My Documents/photos/music/videos folders, should automatically update the location.  For example, if you drag the My Documents folder to another drive, it will go there.  You can still see the icon under C:\Users\Stephen\, but all the files you put in there will reside on the other disk.

Another way to accomplish the same task is right click on the shell folder, choose Properties, and then move it to the location tab.
Another option is the Windows 7 libraries.  You can create your own folder on your drive to another, then right click on your document library to include this file and use it as for the library's default save location.  Every time that you save in the library, he actually be saved on the other drive, yet easily accessible in the library.
  • I have an example on my site on the use of SkyDrive as a default save location so that the files that you store in your library will actually store up to storage online instead.  The same steps to configure your other drive as storage location.  See the steps or watch the video here: http://skeene.net/tech/sync-your-libraries-to-skydrive/

    You can sort by different columns by clicking the columnheader.  Clicking a second time will sort by this column in the opposite direction.  So try clicking on columnheader to the field in which you want to sort the messages by.  Also, go to view | Display and uncheck the option to view Messages by Conversation, like CTRL-H enable / disable this option.

    You don't need to do a system restore.

  • I created a template to a page, but how it get linked?

    I had started a new Web site and set up the pages individually. Then decided to create a template that the site is growing and would be much easier to manage that way.

    I opened a page, did a "Save as template". Created Editible regions according to the needs. Saved the file. I just can't understand how to link to my new model for the previously created child pages.

    Help, please!

    The best way to do this is as follows:-

    1. create a new page of the child for the model that you did - FILE | New > template Page...

    2. open the old page you want to recreate

    3 copy the content of the old page and paste it into the new page of the child

    4. save the page of the child with the same name as the old page

    5. Repeat until you are finished

Help, please! I HAVE BEEN FIGHTING WITH this for MANY HOURS Thank YOU

    You can use system restore to restore Windows to a date where your password still worked:
    1. put your BIOS so that it uses the DVD drive as its primary boot device.
    2 start the computer with your Windows 7 repair CD.
    3. press a button if you are prompted to start from the DVD.
    4. When prompted, select "Safe Mode Command Prompt".
    5 log in as administrator if you are prompted.
    6. Select repair when prompted.
    7. When you are prompted, select System Restore.
    8. set Windows to a point before this problem occurred.
    9. When finished, remove the CD before restarting the system.
    In step 2, you can also use the Windows 7 installation DVD. The subsequent steps are similar to those above.

    When you're done, why not create a second admin account, then lock up its details. Next time you have a password problem, use the same way you use the spare key to your car when misplace you the master key.

  • How to put pictures into folders?

    All my photos (all 500 +) are all mixed up on one page. I want to organize them in individual cases. I already have the files and that you named... So HOW do the pictures in the files? !!! I feel stupid to ask, but I've tried everything I can think of to... Thanks in advance

    In the Explorer > libraries > photos you will find may be easier to click on the drop down arrow in the high rt in the window and arrange by list

    You will then see the files from there, you drag the file into the required folder

    Or you rt click on the file and choose "move to folder".

  • How to maintain links into a Word document into a PDF file?

    I just bought and installed Adobe Acrobat Pro DC on my Lenovo ThinkPad E555 running Windows 10.

    The only reasons I bought 10 Acrobat is because my old version of Acrobat 7 cannot be installed on the new machine because you have turned off the phone as the lineage of the old product.  Acrobat 7 had a great feature that I use all the time - it allows me to make a PDF of a MSWord document that preserves embedded HTML links that would work in the PDF document.

    Now that I have installed Pro DC, I can't figure out how to make a PDF that retains links to MS Word.  For example, if I type this:

    http://www.ClickShare.com making the PDF with this clickable link.  But if I type:

    Clickshare Service Corp..  (with the embeded link) it will support only forward.

    Unfortunately, Acrobat Pro DC is useless for me if he won't and I'm going to uninstall it and bring the disc to the retailer for a full refund.

    Please explain to me how to activate this feature. I have to nose around the unofficial forms and find other people with the same problem.

    I would be recognizing an email from Adobe technology: [email protected] (Bill) you will see that I am a registered user of a current product, so please help me out here.

  • where are the files of keyword and how I get them into lightroom 4?

    I've upgraded from lightroom lightroom 3 4.  In many cases, the key words are missing - sort of. When I click on one photo, the keywords appear.  If I select a bunch of pictures, keywords appear as a group.  Why they not listed for each photo?  How can I get the "connected" without redoing each photo?  Let me know if you need more information.  It seems I read somewhere that keywords are stored in a separate file (many of these photos are jpg, if I do not speak .xmp), but I can't find where I read that.  Anyone know?

    Thanks for help.

    Margaret

    Hello.  Looks like I got all my keywords attached to the pictures.  What I did:

    Firstly I find all photos without keywords using a metadata search.

    I found that he appeared to be groups of pictures that had no key words.  I decided to at least get the main keyword on all people in a particular group, such as Canyonlands.

    Once I added one of the keywords, the others all appeared as if by magic!  Then, I went to each group of photos and added the main keyword and the others came and attached to the pictures.

    Don't understand why this happened or why it fixed, because it was so random.  But I'm happy to have my restored keywords (I had divided flowers by color, etc. so it was a lot of work!)

    Thanks for the discussion and self-help.
