Set My Documents on a Different Drive

Set My Documents on a Different Drive

The target folder for "My Documents" is default to be a folder in the C drive (or the "System" drive) i.e. "C:\Documents and Settings\....\My Documents".
It's better to change My Documents to another drive because when Windows crashes, "My Documents" is not effected.
To change (for example, to "D" drive):

1. Navigate to "My Documents" using one of the following methods:
   - Minimize all Windows and see if "My Documents" is on the desktop.
   - Hold down the Window key and press "E" to open Windows Explorer, "My Documents" should be listed under "Desktop".
   - Start > Programs > Accessories > Windows Explorer, "My Documents" should be listed under "Desktop".

Resize a Hard Drive Partition with Easeus

Are you looking for the information how to resize your hard drive partition? Look no further. This page right here will show you the step-by-step how to re-partition your hard drive in an easy way.
And the best of all: It's all free! Thanks to Easeus for the free tool EASEUS Partition Master. Although, you may find serveral different editions from the Easeus homepage for the same purpose, the free Home Edition will take care of your re-partition need just fine.
While many people are well familiar with the term "re-partition", some others may wonder what it actually means, so here's a quick overview....
On many computers, especially pre-configured desktops and laptops, the hard drive is setup and configured with an operating system ("O/S") such as Windows, and it is allocated as one single partition (so called the "System drive" or "C drive"). However, many people find this setup inconvenient because of various reasons. One of them, and probably the most common reason is: They prefer to keep their user data separately, away from the operating system so that they don't loose all the user data when the system partition or Windows crash.
On the other hand, some other people just want to manage and configure their drives the way they like.
Re-partition the hard drive seems to be the right solution where users can resize their hard disks and create additional partitions even though an operating system has already been installed.

The most important thing is that, once hidden with this method, the files/folders cannot be viewed by any search options even if you click "Show All Hidden Files and Folders".

Hard Drive Cleanup

Wonder why your computer is getting so slow lately? Most often, it's just your hard drive is getting full or carying too many junk files. Most of these files are temporary files and perfectly safe to be deleted. Cleaning up your hard drive every once in awhile will improve your PC performance.
You might wonder: Why Windows keeps those files if they're not necessary? "Temporary Internet Files", for example, everytime you browse to a webpage, your web browser requests the contents from the host, saves them locally as cache, then displays the contents to your browser window. Now, to speed up the access time when you come back to the same page, your web browser might re-use those cache files if they're not changed from the webpage.
"Temporary Internet Files" are just one example of the temporary files you can clean up. Follow the steps below to clean up other temporary sources as well.
Most likely, temporary files are stored in the Operating System drive ("C Drive"), but it doesn't hurt to do a cleanup all of your hard drives every once in awhile

Erase a Re-writable CD/DVD on Windows 7

Create Ghost Bootable SD Card or USB Flash Drive

It's a good practice to create an image of your hard drive before you start using it. Especially when you had to build that computer from scratch and spent hours installing the operating system and all of your favorite apps...

As Symantec Ghost becomes more user friendly, people start to recognize this idea. The idea also works well when you need to clean your PC from viruses. In case anything goes wrong with the operating system, you just need to restore the image using the Symantec bootable CD.

However, the problem comes when we deal with the new version of those small laptops: The netbooks! which usually don't come with a built-in CD-ROM drive to bootup the PC.
The most simple solution would be buying an external CD-ROM drive, which costs you money. And in some cases, you just want to bootup the Symantec Ghost.... with whatever available!

Create a bootable CD or DVD with or without floppy

With the CD-ROM available on almost every computer nowaday, floppy drives become a history. However, for those who find computers a hobby, might run into a situation when they need to create a bootable CD that works just like the old floppy disk. Unfortunately, to do this, you still need a floppy drive to read your bootup floppy disk. Wait, the good news is, you can just down load a bootable ISO image and burn it to a CD. And even better, we have a copy of an ISO image right here. You can download this image and follow the instructions below, or you can do a web search for more options.
The information on this article will guide you step-by-step how to create a bootable CD/DVD, either using a bootup floppy disk or a boot image file. You will end up having a bootable CD or DVD, with CD-ROM driver supported, that could startup your PC and bring up the command prompt. This is going to be a good starting point, then you can run other utilities such as hard drive ghost, etc..
Many current CD/DVD burning software support the bootable feature. If you already have your favorite

Command Prompt on Right-Click

Many computer users, specially the programmers, need to launch a command prompt window every once in a while to execute some dos/shell commands. The problem is, when a command prompt window launched, the default path is normally the system path or the user profile's path. The users will then have to do all the "cd" commands to change the directories to the path he/she wants.
This trick shows you how to add an option called "Command Prompt" when you right-click on a folder in Windows. With this option, a Command Prompt Window will launch and its current directory will be the path to the folder you've selected.
Use this trick at your own risk.
