What I do.
Create new folder with correct name on new drive.
Relocate folder to new drive.
Because I change my personal folders to custom icons, I get a desktop.ini automatically generated with info like this IN (most of) THE NEW FOLDERS:
Code:
[.ShellClassInfo]
IconResource=C:\Windows\system32\SHELL32.dll,9
To this I amend, or add if not already there:- LocalizedResourceName=@""YOUR FOLDER NAME HERE"" ending up with
Code:
[.ShellClassInfo]
IconResource=C:\Windows\system32\SHELL32.dll,9
LocalizedResourceName=@""YOUR FOLDER NAME HERE""
I then make that hidden with read only properties. Finally go back to C\Users\My User Account and delete all personal folders if they are still there.
I'd then worry about changing folder names on start menu, quick launch, desktop etc. etc. making sure they are all pointing in the right (new) direction in properties. Might sound a bit long winded but becomes quicker after the twentieth time! Plus your doc's folders will be already set up apart from relocation on the next install.
I've even gone as far as making a "folder tree" I keep in my new user account folders on my "E" Drive. When I re-install I just drop that (paste) into my "C" Drive and instant shortcut set ups etc as it was before.
