Ok, I want to change the "My Documents" folder to another one, because there's files in there that WILL NOT delete, and the only way to delete is to delete the folder, but I am not sure where I could go to make a new folder for My documents Edit: Whenever I attempt to delete "My Documents Folder" it says If you wish to delete this folder, first choose another folder to be your documents folder Well I did change my "personal" folder in RegEdit, and the icon changed on Current My documents and becme a regular folder.
If you want a new folder, then you simply find the place on the harddrive you want it stored such as C: and then right click inside C: or whatever, go down to new and left click on folder option. That will create a folder for you. You then type a name for the folder, left click to seal the change and you are done. Then anytime you need to store a file, point the file to that folder (this is done at the save as, save to prompt), and save. You cannot change the my document folder by the way. You may be able to point the save to dialogue to another folder by editing the registry but that might be a little to brute force for you. Just point the save to to the correct folder everytime you want to save a document.
That is a system folder and cannot be deleted. Even if you could find a way to get rid of it, your windows wont run properly afterwards. I think the message you are getting is misleading. What it is really telling you to do is RENAME the folder. It won't actually let you delete or even point it to another place. Simply follow the advice in the first post if you want to store your documents somewhere else. Otherwise, you'll be stuck with the my documents folder.
Well, is there any way I can override delete something? I dloaded a program off of MX, and when I try to delete it, a warning comes up saying files name is too long to do anything with or the file doesn't exist
Perhaps if you boot to DOS (with a boot disk) and try deleting the directory from the command line?? When it boots, just type in: rd c:\mydocu~1 /S That may work...
