Harddrive
« on: February 26, 2011, 08:49:35 AM »
Is there a way were I can make stuff automatically save to my F drive other than the normal C drive.

Reason being is because the C drive is full and the F drive has 1TB of memory

you could redirect your "My Documents" folder to the F: drive.

you can make your system save files wherever you want...just don't try to move your program files directory over...nasty results

How to move My Documents, choose your favourite. Also move all large folders you may have put on your desktop to the F: drive, perhaps making a desktop icon to link to them for easy access.

Firefox has an option that lets you choose where to download things. I'd start by making a "!downloads" folder on the appropriate drive, then tell firefox to send everything it downloads to there.

Any software that installs pretty much has advanced options to let you choose where to install it.
Installing everything to C:\programfiles~ is just lazy in my opinion.

Also clean up your C drive, move things other than installed programs over to the new drive.
Such as downloaded (but not installed) software, apps, music, etc.
