Hello, I have this weird question, but I find it rather actual. I was

wondering, if it's possible to change desktop folder, I mean so that all

information with which I work on desktop would be stored not in C:\Documents

and set....\Desktop, but so that I could change the location of it. I need it

because it annoys me, each time to backup desktop, when I'm about to format C

disk to reinstall windows. Thank you in advance.

Re: Desktop

 

Would you not still have to back it up even if it was somewhere else.

Cyberstalking is a crime. If you had one as bad as I did simply ignoring

them is not an option.

Maybe he wants to store his desktop settings on a flash drive or an external

hard drive or some such and then run off that somehow?

Of course he would, you slimy troll. It would just be easier if it was all

in one place that's easy to remember.the location of.

Seeing as you're the worst cyberstalker I've known, lately, you should know.

Re: Desktop

 

1. Why in the world do you have to flatten (reformat/reinstall) your system

so often that you think this is a big issue? What are you doing so wrong

that this is required?

 

2. What items on the Desktop would you like to save? They are created in

different ways and located in different folders. You shouldn't need to worry

about the virtual links created by the Registry, as they are put there by

Windows and other apps (My Computer, My Documents, etc.) Nor should you

worry about applications' shortcuts, as they, too, can be recreated when the

apps are reinstalled. That leaves personal shortcuts, for instance if you

made one to a folder you created for a special project, to hold all the

project's documents. It also includes the files you unwisely have stored on

the Desktop, like downloaded installation files, or one of those special

project folders I mentioned a minute ago. If those are all you're worried

about, fine, they probably *are* all stored in C:\Documents &

Settings\[yourusername]\Desktop. (Most applications shortcuts will be in

C:\Documents & Settings\All Users\Desktop.)

 

3. What is so difficult about getting to C:\Documents &

Settings\[yourusername]\Desktop? Just how much simpler do you want the path

to be? C:\Desktop?

 

4. To move your personal folders, including the Desktop, first create the

folder you want (and you don't have to call it Desktop), then fix the path

here:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell

Folders

(all one line from HKEY to Shell Folders.

 

5. Get ready for the fun when some stupid app that isn't programmed to look

in that Registry Key for the path they want to throw an error because it

can't find "C:\Documents and Users\[yourusername]\Desktop, though that can

be a lot more interesting with some of the other personal shell folders.

 

6. Get ready for more fun if you don't take the time and search for

'[yourusername]\Desktop" in the Registry and change them all to the new

location.

 

7. Even when you think you have it all figured out, be ready to be, er,

"upset" when two weeks of seeking an answer to a really weird problem turns

out to be due to your moving your personal Desktop folder. Take it from me,

I've tried it all.

 

Now, back to number 1., above. WTF?

Why does it has to be a question, why do you need it? Of course I thank you,

I actually see the answer to my question and some scary stuff which makes me

to consider not doing it. My disk is divided, so I have C and D disks, so

when I reinstall my system, D disk remains unharmed. No I don't flatten

(reformat/reinstall) my system ofter, but yes it pisses me off even doing it

once a 3-5 months. I am student and have works tied with computers, so my

Desktop is overcrowded with different files(no shortcuts). In any case. many

thanks for your answer, but try to be more friendly next time =] Cheers.

Re: Desktop

 

I had no intention of being unfriendly, nor do I see where I was.

Straight-forward, perhaps, but if you see insult in my previous post, I

suggest that you look inwards at your own motives for thinking so. My

questions are those of a technician in search of answers. If you are

reinstalling your system every 3-5 months, you are doing things terribly

wrong. It's that simple. It's not an opinion, it's fact. And it's not the

computer's fault, it's yours.

 

It's a simple fact, not opinion, that you shouldn't crowd up the Desktop

with projects and lots of user data files (there are proper places for those

to be stored, and then you use shortcuts on the Desktop to reach them.) It's

also simple fact that you must be doing something(s) terribly incorrectly if

you require your machine to be flattened that often. From a technician's

point of view, I wish to know what it is that you are doing that requires

flattening (or makes you think it is required.) If we could fix those

issues, backing up the Desktop or moving it or any other Shell folders

(except My Documents) would be unnecessary.

 

Pointing out user error or bad habits is part of the job. If you're going to

take it personally, that's your right. It just won't make your computer run

any better, and that's the whole purpose of this newsgroup. Shall I consider

this a goodbye? Or would you like to discuss your computer maintenance

habits? I mean, I treat my own machine horribly, but I've never had to

flatten it. I've had two main XP systems running over the last six years (I

screwed up the mobo in some manner which I haven't yet had time to fully

diagnose, but I needed it replaced ASAP so I got new hardware and built a

new system), running a LOT of apps, including lots of installations of

crapware just so I can figure out what the source of a client's problem is,

and still, my machine, though it needs cleaning up on a regular basis due to

my being a slob, runs as well as it did when I first installed it (better,

actually.) Note that except for the Desktop and Address Book, there isn't

anything on my C:\ drive that can't be easily replaced. In other words, few

if any user files on C:\.

 

Why not at least store your Desktop projects in folders on D:\, with

shortcuts to them on the Desktop? One or two click and Voila!, your project

folder is open and ready for action.

Re: Desktop

 

Sorry if I insulted you by that, I didn't meant unfriendly, rather strict =]

Anyway, well 3-5 months it's kinda not true. Current system stands for about

1 year, but it's heavily damaged by recent virus attacks, because my

{censored} antivirus let them all in. My machine is overcrowded with files

and when I open D disk it scares me...how hard it would be to clean that mess

up. Folders, files all in chaotic way. That's why I hold my college stuff on

desktop. And I've asked for help in changing desktop folder, because I strain

system so much sometimes, that eventually it's not able to load anymore(not

even in safe mode), had it 2 times already and lost some of my critical

needed projects. Holding in separate folder on disk D, linking it to the

desktop? Yes, maybe it's most efficient, but which is really odd for me, I

don't like that. Currently I am using XP operating system, but my PC is

designed for Vista(some of my PC functions doesn't work properly on XP). I am

ought to change OS to Vista(again, first try was awful, crashes and not

stability was second name for Vista), this time I am going to try again(may

the power of updates help me), but if it won't change and will be same crash

monster, I'll get back to XP, that's why I predict several reinstalls in

short period. Quite intriguing what could you suggest, to keep my PC in good

health. I would gladly listen up for what you'd suggest me. Thank you in

advance.

 

P.S. Forgive me for my crappy English.

Re: Desktop

 

First thing I have to ask is what your system specs are. Make/Model, etc.

What your hard drive and partitioning scheme is. But when it comes to

keeping your files organized, that's something I may be able to make

suggestions on, but again, I'd have to know how you're doing it now. Believe

me, my system is quite disorganized, too, but I have lots of disk space.

 

How much disk space do you have, and how is it organized? (And don't forget

to post your hardware specs.)

Re: Desktop

 

Many thanks for your help.

Here are my spec:

Intel Core 2 Duo CPU T7700 2.4 GHz

4 GB of DDRRam

NVIDIA GeForce 8400M G 256 Ram

150 GB Hard disk space(SATA AHCI)

 

Sorry if I mistake about the scheme, I hope I got it right:

C(system) disk - NTFS. Type - Basic. Capacity - 39,06 GB, Free - 8,76 GB.

D disk - NTFS. Type - Basic. Capacity - 109,99 GB, Free - 10,53 GB.

 

Remind me if I forgot anything and thanks again!

Re: Desktop

 

Go buy yourself another disk. Put it in. Then we'll talk about how to

rearrange your files. You don't have enough free space left on that system

and I get the impression you have no real intention of *shrinking* the

amount of data you hold on to. Hard drives are just plain cheap these days.

 

Get as big a disk as you can afford, because you need lots of space, I can

tell. I will offer no recommendations. Be sure to carefully review the

manual before adding a drive or drives. Is this a homebuilt or whitebox or

brand-name or what? When I asked for specs, although what you gave was

useful, I meant to ask if you have you a make/model number of the machine or

motherboard? It helps when we offer advice if we can know *exactly* what we

are dealing with. For example, I have a homebuilt with an Asus P5B Deluxe

motherboard with wireless broadcasting. I have another old system that's a

Compaq Presario 5735. I've recently been working with a Dell XPS 420. That

is the info I seek.

 

And check before you head to the store: how many additional slots do you

have for internal 3 1/2" hard drives? Other empty bays (places to install a

drive), 3.5" or 5.25"? Also, how many power connectors are there free for

use? Will you need to split one or more? Better to know as much as you can

before you decide what to purchase, and don't forget to take the manual with

you (or at least printouts of the pertinent parts.)

Re: Desktop

 

This PC is laptop and I'm ought to clean the mess up, I mean delete half of

unused files, such like watched film, etc. This model is remake of some

brand-name model. Our local computer resellers have changed the name it and

model name to their company name. I know that because aarc models does not

exist, do they? Also drivers in the cd are for asus computer. All that

previous info about hardware spec, that's all I could take out, because I

don't have any spec and I'm afraid that I won't be able to find the model.

With this PC I got only warranty, no any additional info. Yeah sounds stupid,

but when I was buying PC, I was thinking about easy to use. In any case, I'll

try to find out all I can, but it might take time. In any case, thank you.
