Arrey boss, what happens when your PC suddenly refuses to boot one fine day ????????????? that is wht I wanted to shift the mydocument position.
and I have tried my documents properties etc, but somehow it is not working ?????????????????
wat error comes wen u do wat vishal said... it shd work...
Just copy the data of My Documents and paste in your separate folder.
Did you try what Vishal wrote ..? It should work .. You can have a look at this kb article too ..
Or, get TweakUI for Windows, go to My Computer in the left side menu and choose Special Folders. Here, you can set My Documents to a different location...

After I reboot, the setting comes back to the default drive location. Maybe I am not doint it correctly. But I will copy the contenst of My Documents to another drive as BackUp. Thankz for the idea. I will also try this Tweak UI.
