OK so if you are using Windows Vista, you have probably noticed by now that “My Documents” from the old XP days is now called “Documents”. I love it when everything changes for no other reason than to be confusing.

Anyway, if you want to edit the location of where “Documents” points, you can do so by right-clicking and selecting properties.

However, you may want to do this via the registry, it can come in handy for certain situations. So here is the Registry Key you will want to edit for changing the default location of the “Documents” folder in Vista.

Open the registry editor in Vista, just type in “regedit” in the run box.

Browse to Registry Key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders\Personal

You can then alter that value to point to a different folder/location.

Have Fun!
