New drive to move public folders

I would have all my data stored on an external drive and have managed to get my personal folders moved but not public folders.  Is this possible?  I'm the system administrator, but Vista is new to me.

Hello

You might be better off if you just hide the public folder according to your configuration.

  • Move public folders to another drive

    I have a new computer with a small disk C: (SSD) and a large drive D: (mechanical transmission). I moved (My Documents, my pictures, my music, etc.), document records all users using the Properties > location > move... Unfortunately, this doesn't seem to work for public folders. I can still go to Properties > location which displays the same message that "You can change where the files are stored in this folder...". "but the path that is displayed is not editable and it is not a move... button. Does anyone know how to move the public folders?

    @Hilmar - all the info that I discovered to date indicate that file Public is not movable. Perhaps, it can be done with a sort of hack to check but if so, I have not found. Instead, I created a new folder in the location I wanted to (in my case, at the disk instead of SSD), manually set the permissions and sharing options and had then my computer users add this folder to their respective libraries. Kind of pain, I know, but it was the only solution that I could find.

  • How can I move specific files according to date to a new drive and recreate the folders that they were originally in?

    I would like to take I have saved a search to sort by date and then move them to another drive and also preserve or recreate specific subfolders, in that they were originally of specific files. How do I do that? I found an and only a third party program which claims to work with the copy of the files and other. It is called "Copywhiz" but I don't think that it has this ability account required from what I've seen of him. I looked up information about the xcopy command, but his date setting allows only a specific date, not a date range. What is the best way to do it if possible? Otherwise I'll have to go through the TEDIOUS process of your time to copy all the folder and its subfolders to the other drive, looking all over again for a date range and delete these files and not in the range of dates, I want to be in the files in specific folders. I hope it is clear to you because I have no other way to explain. The specific details of the project are that I have a bunch of psd files in many subfolders based on the object. Of these files, I want those who are previous to the year 2009. I want to have the records that those displaced persons files were to be preserved in their new location. Essentially, I want to replicate the folder structure that only selected files to the new drive.

    I could get this link to work, so I downloaded from http://www.softpedia.com/progDownload/RoboCopy-Download-87790.html.

    I tried it and it worked and it was relatively simple.  He did the directory and the structure of the subdirectories as well.

    In my view, is the command you would use in command prompt:

    ROBOCOPY sourcedirectory *.psd /E MINAGE:20081231 destinatiiondirectory

    I think that's all there is to it.  It worked for me when I did something similar with all .doc files in the My Documents folder.

    WOW!  It was fairly easy and well obviously the solution.

    I hope this helps.

    Good luck.

  • Cannot move public folders to another location

    Original title: I encounter a strange error while moving the public folder?

    Hello world!

    I encounter a strange error while moving the public folder, although I've done it before without any problem.

    Thses files that are located in the Public folder in its original volume:

    and as you can see this folder "music" is available in the source "C:\users\public".

    That these two folders within the Public folder have been moved to the new location D:\users\public

    -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    However, when I moved to: C:\Users\Public via the command prompt and run the Dir command. I noticed this "Music" folder, but it is not "public music. After that I applied the last command, but instead of running this command:

    "robocopy /MIR %SYSTEMDRIVE%\Users\Public D:\Users\Public.

    I have run this command with the setting 'music' "Public"

    "robocopy /MIR %SYSTEMDRIVE%\Users\Public\Music D:\Users\Public.

    And the music folder moved:

    But I am quite sruprised that in the first time I did that I only work "robocopy /MIR %SYSTEMDRIVE%\Users\ D:\Users\PublicPublic .

    "In addition, as you can see that there is no ' Document Public" and "Public Desktop" in the output of the command "Dir /" via the command prompt. However, records two moved with the command "" robocopy /MIR %SYSTEMDRIVE%\Users\Public D:\Users\Public "without any problem.

    ------------------------------------------------------

    These steps, I made a request to transfer:

    This can be done by a directory connection that can redirect to a new location of the Public folder.

    First create a new folder on E:\ and maybe you want to call it Public.

    Go to Cmd prompt as administrator.

    All copy existing public folders to the new folder created using the command
    Robocopy /MIR %SYSTEMDRIVE%\Users\Public E:\Public (or any name that you used for public folders on E :)

    You need robocopy as it supports the hidden files, etc., especially if you haveRecorded TV public folder.

    Once the copy is transferred, you must remove the existing public folder and create an ajunction in his place. To do this, start mode safe mode as an administrator and remove thepubliccontents and folder, and then start theCmd as an administrator command prompt. To remove the Public folder:

    rmdir /s /q %SYSTEMDRIVE%\Users\Public

    After you have created the new folder location and deleting the existing publicfolder, now is the time to create a directory Junction forpublic folder with the following command:

    MKLINK /J %SYSTEMDRIVE%\Users\Public E:\Public (or any name you named the folder opublic on E:\)

    for example: mklink /d C:\Users\Public E:\Public

    Now, all that is intended for the original Public folder gets directed to the new location.
    I hope this helps.

  • How to move public folders

    move a public folder under proprties, it is a function move address line, but it won't change

    move a public folder under proprties, it is a function move address line, but it won't change

    1. you do not move a Public folder. You place what is inside of the Public folder.

    2. why went to properties to move a folder?

    Open the Public folder > select the subfolder that you want to move > drag and drop the file to the desired location.

    A better way is to use Move To or copy to options in the right click context menu.

    Open the Public folder > select the folder that you want to move > right click it > click Copy To > navigate to the folder/location > until it clicks > click Copy > go and make sure if the folder is copied to the new location. If Yes, you can remove the Public folder (if you want).

    If you do not Move To and copy in your context menu, use this tutorial:

  • How can I move the public folders default location to a new drive?

    I'll put up a brand new machine with Windows 7 pre-installed and a big 500 GB hard drive.  I partitioned the drive into 2 logical drives C: and E:

    Wherever possible I want to store all user data on E: (I know is not possible for all the parameters of the user to move - mores the pity).  I have not yet copied across all the data from my old machine so I just empty folders to play with at the moment.  I moved all the My Documents/pictures/etc files for the e: drive by changing the location in the properties of the folder.

    However, I can't do the same with public folders.  If I right click on the folder, click Properties, then location, it's like I can't change C:\Users\Public\... but it does not change

    No idea why, or how I can get around this?

    This is possible thanks to a Directory junction that can redirect to a new location of the Public folder.

    First create a new folder on E:\ and maybe you want to call it Public.

    Go to Cmd prompt as administrator.

    All copy existing public folders to the new folder created using the command
    Robocopy /MIR %Systemdrive%\Users\Public E:\Public     (or any name that you used for public folders on E :)

    You need robocopy as he takes care of hidden files, etc., especially if you have the recorded TV folder in public folders.

    Once the copy is transferred, you must delete the existing public folder and create a junction in his place. To do this, boot into Safe Mode as an administrator and remove the public content and file inviting again by running Cmd as administrator. To remove the Public folder:

    RmDir /s /q %SYSTEMDRIVE%\Users\Public

    After creating the new folder location and remove the existing public folder, now is time to create a Directory junction of audiences with the following folders:

    Mklink /J %Systemdrive%\Users\Public E:\Public                         (or any name you named the folder opublic on E:\)

    for example: mklink /dC:\Users\Public E:\Public   

    Now, all that is intended for the original Public folder gets directed to the new location.
    I hope this helps.

  • has got the biggest hard drive, can I transfer old install to the new drive?

    C: space too small

    My Windows XP Professional is installed on a 10 GB hard drive, there is little room left. I added an external drive more and would like to move the system to the largest disk. I don't have a installation disc. Can I transfer the system and applications to the new drive without losing any functionality and maybe use the old drive (C :) to store data.

    Its not so easy.  It is best to get rid of some of the files on the old drive and move the data files to the new drive.  Try to go first to start | Programs | Accessories | System Tools | Disk Cleanup.  Then you can move locations of various data, such as temporary Internet files (in Internet Explorer go to tools |) Internet Options | Settings and click the folder to move and which will move this place).  If you use OE, first back up your messages (see www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#6) and then put in place a new directory on the new drive to something like D:\OESTORE and then go to tools | Options | Advanced | Maintenance | Store the folder and click the button change and set it as the new location.  Then close and reopen OE (DO NOT MOVE MESSAGES yourself! as he will destroy them) and the location must be moved.

    For other space saver, try to do a backup on the new disk directory and copy all update backups that were made (the Blues subdirectories in the Windows directory) and the Windows\inf directory that you can completely roll over to the new drive for backup purposes and you may need to browse to it, if you install a new device , but which will save a lot of space. (the above two suggestions require that you go to control panel |) Folder options | View and activate display files and hidden folders, enable showing protected and OS files and disable the option Hide extensions of known file types).  Move also on other data such as images, documents, music to the new drive.

    So if you have lots of space on C, defrag it.

    But just copy through the old drive to the new and try to start on the new one is unlikely to work.

  • I just installed a new drive faster. How can I get windows live mail from the old drive to the new drive

    Where are the files stored WindowsLiveMail?  Under what article directory.  I have "tons" of e-mail messages stored on the old disk and need to move them to the new drive faster.  How can I do?

    The location of the store folder, which contains all the messages, calendars and the account settings, is configurable by the user. The default location is
    C:\Users\{user}\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows Live Mail

    If the installer of WLMail is a record storage in the default location, it normally acknowledge and take into use if. The only user that would be required should reinstate saved passwords. If this is to succeed, the old and new installations of WLMail normally must be exactly the same construction. The storage location must be in place in the default location on the new drive before installing WLMail. Also, the current user must be the owner of the record store to its new location.

    If the old drive is installed on the same computer as the new facility in WLMail, you can point the Import Wizard to import messages to the old folder of the store. They will find under storage folders into imported folders.
