TweakUI Woes (& mislocated Update folders)

people...

1) A friend of mine had his HP Media Center PC configured backwards...they (CompUSA) made his RECOVERY partition way too large & his local drive way too small. As a solution, I went with trying to move most of his data over to the larger partition via TweakUI.

So:

1) 1st I moved his default 'My Documents' folder location via Properties > Target...which worked fine. But then, in attempting to use TweakUI (to move everything else), I ran into a dead end. On the interface, there is an instruction that recommends dragging a folder to a new location as the more precise way of moving 'Special Folders'...but...there was then no response to any folder dragging in the interface's file tree. Does Microsoft provide any type of support for power toys? Or are there power toys discussion forums around to anyone's knowledge? I couldn't find any help files in the app itself (TweakUI)...& I'm either doing something terribly wrong or something's not working correctly.

2) The dumb-ass (my friend)…for some inexplicable reason…moved 4 (what look to be) XP update folders to his desktop. When I asked him what happened, he couldn't remember how (or even why) he did it. The 4 folders have the following names:

1d4fd9963973dabfea5d8e74496e
4c26c12abe5caa2b406baa026a
10e1c969ba1687aace
bfa585fc22d676f9bcb4900371229b50

Each folder has a subfolder entitled 'Update'.

Does anyone know where these belong…so I can move them back to their rightful location?

Thanks very much,

PeteC & Arie...

Thanks very much...& I think I like the boards already!

On the right click / hold / drag thing...I'm not sure I'm following this function as related to the significance of TweakUI. Are you saying that TweakUI has to be running while this is accomplished in Windows Explorer, or that TweakUI doesn't even play a role (& hence doesn't need to be running or installed or anything else, for that matter)?

If the latter is true...please bear in mind that the only reason I wanted to use it in the first place was because someone had told me (in another XP type forum) that changing folder locations had to be accomplished through this app, so that 1), the registry would be updated; & 2), so that the OS recognized the new location.

If I don't even need TweakUI for this function & right dragging in Explorer accomplishes all of the above on it's own…that's even better.

Is this the case?

Thanks again,
