From: Ian R on 27 Dec 2007 07:32 Hi I'm using XP Pro SP2. I have the "My Documents" Folder located on a separate physical drive. If I remove* that drive and restart Windows I wondered how it would cope with the My Documents folder not being in the location expected? Would it cause a big problem or simply create a new My Documents folder in the default location? *If you're interested to know why... well I need to run a Windows based diagnostic on some other drives and as my system case is pretty full up its more convenient to remove the drive which happens to store the documents folder. Thanks Ian

It wouldnt even do that if you dont use Office etc. The My Documents folder is really just the default location for stuff like that, if its not present, it wont care. > *If you're interested to know why... well I need to run a Windows based diagnostic on some other drives and as my > system case is pretty full up its more convenient to remove the drive which happens to store the documents folder. That'll be fine. |
