Moving My Documents caused missing folder
Hi,
I was trying to move some personal directories onto another drive and was following these instructions:
Redirect a folder to a new location
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/redirect-a-folder-to-a-new-location
I opened up my personal name from the start menu, and then right clicked on Downloads. I clicked on the move button in the location tab, and chose a folder I created:
E:\Libraries
a location to which I planned on moving all personal folders. However, when I did that, the Downloads did not appear inside E:\Libraries, but rather on the top level of E. I thought maybe it was a system requirement that it be on the top.
Next I tried to move 'My Documents', and I just chose E. Well, something strange happened.
There is no folder called Documents any longer, as it was replaced by my hdd icon. The picture shows what's happening.
What I really WANTED, was to put all my personal folders into E:\Libraries, but that doesn't seem to be happening.
What can I do to fix this?
Thanks!
