To move My Documents folder to D: first Copy the folder to D: and then verify
all the files are in D:\My Documents. Now right click on your My Documents folder
on the Desktop and select Properties. In the box, change the path to D:\My Documents
and click OK. Now you can open Windows Explorer, scroll to C:\Windows\My Documents
and delete it to recover its space on C:.
To relocate the C:\Windows\Desktop folder use the same kind of process and then
use Tweak
UI to change the path where Windows will find it. In Tweak UI go to the My Computer
tab | Special Folders box and change to path for Desktop. Without Tweak UI you'd
need to hack the registry to change the path to Desktop.

My c drive is quite small compared to my d drive. Is there a
way of relocating (shortcut) the 'My Documents' folder onto
the d drive instead? (But making sure that Win98 still thinks
it's on the c drive) I'd also like to do this with my
'Desktop' folder.
Thanks
