    I have a machine running XP Home. I am the administrator but cannot change the location of the My Documents folder to another partition.

    There is no Target box when I click Properties.

    Is this not possible in XP Home?

    Thanks

    On the other partition, create a folder called My Documents.

    Rt click Desktop > Properties > Desktop tab > Customize desktop button > checkmark My Documents.

    Rt click the desktop My Documents link > Properties > Move button > browse and select the new My Documents folder on the other partition.
