how to move the Desktop

[Guest Tim.T]

I've managed to move the Desktop folder, both manually and in the registry

to the new location, "v:\Desktop". But whenever I choose to "save to

desktop"when surfing the web (using Firefox), or choose the "Send

to...Desktop" option when righclicking an item, I find it's always saved to

the default "%USERPROFILE%/Desktop", not "v:\Desktop". This is despite the

fact all the files and folders on the Desktop now refer to "v:\Desktop".

 

I changed all the %USERPROFILE%/Desktop" settings in the registry that I

could find, to "v:\Desktop" but for some reason Windows is still choosing

the default destination for some procedures. What I'm I doing wrong?

 

Cheers,

Tim
