I am guessing I can change the location of just the My Videos folder by changing the My Video key in the registry right? I have large videos and want to store them on an external drive.

I replaced the hard drive and reinstalled Windows, but how can I make the new version of Windows connect to the old My Documents folder with all my data without it overwriting it and erasing everything? Thanks. Hi, quick question…I had changed the location of my My Documents folder to an external drive, but then my computer crashed.

When I try to delete to old references, I'm told that I do not have permission and cannot delete them. ARRGG!!

In fact, the other method didn't even work for me. Not sure if I did something wrong, but the other way is easy, intuitive, and safe. Yes, auscompgeek is correct.
