How to redirect the desktop folder to drive D?

Hi all

 
Can redirect us the desktop folder to some other drive except C:\ Drive.
My requirement is, guess I'll put any file in Office that he should save automatically to the player that we have redirected to desktop.
Hereby, we can save the data of the C drive in another player, so in no longer crashes no need to worry for the backup of data from the office.

Hello

  • What version of Winodws XP do you use?

Unfortunately, it is not possible.

You can use the backup utility to back up files and folders on a computer that is running Windows XP.

If you use Windows XP Home Edition, you can refer to the following steps:

Before you can back up important information on your computer, you must install the backup utility. The backup utility is included on the Windows XP Home Edition CD.

Note If you do not have the original CD of Windows XP Home Edition of Windows XP was preinstalled on your computer, contact the computer manufacturer or visit the Web site of the manufacturer for more information. You can also use the backup software that you purchase separately.

To install backup from the Windows XP CD:

  1. Insert your Windows XP CD into the CD or DVD from the computer player.
  2. Click exit.
  3. Locate the: \ValueAdd\Msft\Ntbackup folder on the CD.
  4. Double-click ntbackup.msi to install the backup utility.
  5. When the backup or Restore Wizard prompts you, click Finish.
  6. Remove the Windows XP CD.

Now that you have installed the backup utility, you are ready to back up your important information.

If you use Windows XP Professional, to back up your files and folders, follow these steps:

Note To back up files and folders, you must be connected to the computer as an administrator or as a user who belongs to the Administrators group. To verify that you are connected to Windows with a user account is an administrator on the computer, see the Microsoft Web site at the following address:

http://support.Microsoft.com/GP/Admin (http://support.microsoft.com/gp/admin)

Note The following steps explain how to use the backup utility to back up your files and folders manually. You can also use the backup and Restore Wizard to back up your files and folders. However, the steps will be slightly different from those that are listed in the next section.

Step 1: Open the backup utility

  1. Click Startand then click run.
  2. Type ntbackup.exe in the Open box, and then click OK.

    Note If you receive the following error message, make sure that you followed the steps in the "how to install the backup utility" section correctly:

Step 2: Select the items to back up and select the location for the backup file
  1. Click Advanced Mode.

Note If the backup and Restore Wizard, the utility runs in Wizard mode. You can click to clear the always start in Wizard mode check box, and then restart the backup utility. If you continue to use the Restore Wizard and backup, the steps will be slightly different from those that are listed in the next section.

  • Click the backup tab.
  • In the menu of task , click new.
  • Select the check boxes next to the drives you want to back up. If you select files or folders, expand the drive where these files or folders. Then, select the check boxes for the files or folders you want to back up.
  • Select the System State check box that is located under my computer in the navigation pane.

    Note If you want to save settings system and data files, back up all data on your computer and the system state data. The system state data includes the registry, COM + class registration database, files that are under the Protection of files Windows, the boot files and other system files.

  • If it is available to the backup destination list, click the backup destination that you want to use.

    • Step 3: Start the backup

    2. Under If the media already contains backups, perform one of the following:
      • If you want to add this backup file to previous backup files, click append this backup to the media. This option adds the new backup in the existing backup file so that you can keep all the previous backups in a single file. This option is useful if you ever want to restore a backup from a specific day. Be aware that the size of the backup file will increase with each new backup. You can monitor the file size to make sure that it does not fill your hard drive over time. If the file becomes too large, you should consider saving the file on an external hard drive. Or, if you are concerned about the file using too much hard disk space, select replace the data on the media with this backup instead.
      • If you want to replace the files of previous backup with this backup file, click replace the data on the media with this backup. This option is useful if you want to keep the current backup and do not care to keep the previous backups. Or, use this option if you are concerned about the file using too much disk space on your computer.
    3. Click Advanced.
    4. Select the check box Verify data after the backup .
    5. In the Backup Type box, click the type of backup that you want to create. For a description of each type of backup, click the backup type and the description appears under "Description." You can select all of the following types of backup:
      • Normal
      • Copy
      • Incremental
      • Premium
      • Every day
    6. Click OK, and then click Start Backup. A backup progress dialog box appears, and the backup starts.

    Step 4: Leave the backup utility

    1. When the backup is complete, click close.
    2. In the menu of task , click exit.

    • Reset the default settings of the desktop folder

      I wanted to change the location of my personal (user) of the C: drive to another. By mistake, I gave the location of the desktop as D:\ folder. The result was not to my liking (instead of the desktop folder, I saw the folder on the drive (same icon and the bar blue % used).) I tried to change the settings in the registry, which was advised by another site. They told me to make the following changes:

      "

      To do this, go to start > run, type "regedit" and get the keys listed below. You can create a string value extensible "Desktop" in the "User Shell Folders" key, if this value does not exist.

      Now, double-click the name of the "Desktop" under "Shell Folders" and "User Shell Folders" respectively, to set a new path in their fields in the value data for your 'Office' folder

      Registry entries:

      I did, and she is back to normal. However, the desktop in the user directory folder is hidden , even if I put the path by default (the check box for the hidden option is grayed out). Also, the default icon for the Office changed default folder icon.

      I want the desktop folder as it is. How can I do this?

      Note: This was done in the administrator account.

      I solved the problem of "hidden folder" by changing the attributes of the desktop folder. He was set to RHSD, I changed it to RD, remove hidden and system attributes, by using the command "attrib".

      However, there is NO "desktop.ini" file in the desktop folder, or it is hidden so that I can't see it in the 7-Zip file manager. Does that create a problem? How can I do this? As far as I know, is that it is [.] ShellClassInfo] wrote the top of the page and there are two other elements, namely LocalizedResourceName and IconResource. What should I write in these two?

    • Free space on the C drive. How big should the Windows folder (normally) be?

      I have a HP desktop with a 90G hard drive for drive C with 74G of real ability.  Drive C is now available 1.02 G.

      I've already moved all documents on an external drive to free up space and I have more left to move.  The Windows folder has 54G with 35253 files and 3437 files.  I have Disk Defragmenter and disk cleanup which reduces the Windows folder by less than 1 G.

      What is 'normal' for Windows size, if there is such a thing?  How can I make smaller windows?   I have no idea of what files are in the windows can be deleted.  Any ideas?

      Thank you!

      This is not true.

      The %windir%\system32\spool\PRINTERS file is supposed to contain jobs waiting to be printed.  This is the print spooler.

      This suggests two things: either you have malware files in that folder (which seems unlikely), or you send print jobs to a printer to be connected to your computer, but now is not.  When you realized that a job does not print, you re - sent to the correct printer.

      In all cases, follow these steps, which will empty this folder (and make your system perform better).

      A. Clean on print jobs pending

      • Open a command prompt window (start > run > cmd > OK)
      • Type the following in the black command prompt window, and then press ENTER after each line

      net stop spooler
      del/q '% windir%\system32\spool\PRINTERS\*.* '.
      net start spooler
      output

      Once you do this, go to printers and faxes and uninstall all of the printers that you no longer need... and remember that the default printer (the one with the box) is the one which is effectively connected to the computer.

      I uninstalled a program and then tried to put the icon on the desktop to the trash.  I get an error message that says that the program cannot be found and try again.  How can I get rid of the icon?

      Hello

      Reboot and see if the icon is still there. If so, try the following:

      Go to control panel/Folder Options, view tab, set the options so that you can see the hidden files and folders and show protected operating system files. You should now be able to see a desktop desktop.ini file. Delete and restart. See if that helps.
