Hi friends, in this video tutorial you will see how you can move the desktop location of partition C: \ in another partition or hard drive on another ideal.
For those who don't know, the Desktop is actually a folder located in C: \ users "username", we will change its place from C: \, to another partition, ideally it would be on another hard disk (IOPS performance).
This move has only advantages, first of all we will have a much better level of security, we all know that people put almost everything on the desktop, in case of a reinstallation of windows everything goes on the "copca", with the desktop in another partition does not hurt our head, the data will be kept even after 200 reinstallations.
Another great advantage (in case of moving to another hard disk) is gain IOPS (operations input / output second), this gain translates into better response time and higher loading speed of Windows and software.
An extremely important advantage is the space saving, in case of smaller hard disks or SSDs, the space is very valuable, windows 7 can almost fill a 32GB SSD in a few weeks with the updates on, if we install and a newer game (between 4GB and 10GB) on the C: \ …… partition, we already have to prepare for BSoDs in series.
Moving itself is very simple, you just have to be a little careful before all highly encourage you to make a backup or even a restore point (restore point).
Moved can move more important folders of partition C: \, not only desktop but we'll talk about another time.

Cristi, man as you did for tia went to tutorial car phone htc gps without net on it as I have not managed asaceva to read sd card and save sd card of maps crude gave way to the end location and constant went home I had netul by wireless but when I closed and went to the car to someone to see if I go with a friend always said wating for location and revolved guy or get driving and just revolved not disappear at all in house as we did sample but also outside goes on you see that it worked without net, maybe you had net from vodafone and daia but I did not net I wirelessly directly from home but do not go I got to the car and its figure to see if functioeaza not go I turned and GPS but nothing wating for location meeting and getting driving not know what he said, how the hell is it that today we needed and we Dato post, help me pretty please, I htc and I look at it as I do not know what we did to him as she knows you went not only to me, I A3333 HTC Wildfire. Help me please
so you can move "all" the user from C: /
If I sit and think about a new reinstallation of Windows, if we save Windows to be installed on the C: / partition, then we will have two nci nustiu how to call them "desktop almost" ???? Answer me to this question.
I for one did not understand anything in your question, learning to express and take a few minutes to review more detail if you want to get answers if you ask in 2 peri and write so as to understand just you, then you do not receive any Answer, no one is forced to stay to you to decipher the expressions and bad expression.
I said clearly, and you mention odata.Daca desktop move on another partition, and when you want to install a Windows, all the partition C: / we will install, so when we have "two desktop oape" one that comes default and one that I moved a few days ago another partitie.Asta my question.
You will not have 2 desktops, but also one, the one that comes with the default Windows, if you take it logically ii you know well that when you put a new windows, it does not remember anything, no settings. so the folder you moved before you reinstalled it will become a regular folder like all the others except it will be called Desktop, and you will have to make the setting again to move the Desktop from the default location to the location you want. you had it before you started reinstalling (assuming that before you reinstalled, you moved it…)
TRANSLATION :
From my point of view, I expressed myself very clearly from the first comment, but since you didn't understand, I will ask you the question again. If we follow this tutorial and move the desktop folder to another partition, when reinstalling windows the desktop folder from partition "C: \" will automatically move to the same location where we moved it following the tutorial, or we will have two desktop folders (desktops ) the one installed by windows (default) and the one moved by us from the previous windows? That is HIS question.
I did not move me I win xp option as it dumb?
Very simple, you only have the option of not knowing where to look. How will Dad Bill Gates move the buttons a little while ready…. You don't know how to use the operating system anymore as if you can't look left and right… do you have eyes to look only in the face?

Hi. I also have a problem. I recently did hi5. I enter it with my email address and password and when I go there to "find friends" I write the email address and password, and when I give to find my friends say that the address is wrong (strange because I made sure I wrote bn several times.) I tried several times but in vain. Another strange point is when I check with an online hi5 scanner tells me that I don't have hi5. The first time I thought maybe I didn't write the email address, but it's good. I tried to make another hi5 with that address and he told me that it is already taken, that's why I wrote that it's good hi- 5) is not with a wrong email address). I know what I could do
To "gasesteti friends" must enter mail and password from the password mail account not HI5.
so I did, but I write the password to the email, and still says it is wrong :(
A very interesting tutorial, thank you. Guys, can you help me, caeres the best Players for watching HD movies in full HD resolution, I released a 68.5 Gb movie and with VLC player it brakes at 12 FPS, with KMplayer I can't open it, I recommend a player with which I could forget, Video in "M2TS" format.

Vanessa not need any additional software, I showed a simple way
Thanks Vanessa and thank AdrianGudus k me enlightened mind :))
Yep I moved and now I have a problem
I watched videotutorialul and I did move and I say it's a good thing, but I have a question though, if you move any folder pote like at the program and then reinstalling Windows does not lose the programs that you had installed so innstalarea not waste your time with them again and tell you that you do not need anything doing to install Windows bakup times than often have problems that do not last long and I think it's even sigur.Eu I would say that if might be alone Windows to the C partition would be an excellent Trabant that it did not lose anything from reinstalling Windows
This is not recommended at all. If you did not know, when an application is installed, it does not just copy files in C: \ Program Files!
Do and some registry entries (if you know what those guys) and some folders / files in AppData or Application Data and other hidden folders without which applications (some) will not work!
Hello! Don't make a tutorial on how to permanently delete from the hard drive what has already been deleted from the pc? I have the impression that the pc will work better then getting rid of "dirt" :)
Use ccleaner. There you have an option (advanced) that cleans your free space on your hard drive. It takes a while so…
Okay I moved out I do not care how many are on the desktop thanks a lot again.
Great, nice .. I did not know that. Worth doing moving for those of you still fatzaie me all sorts of data on your desktop through other locations. Thanks Cristi!
Nice tutorial!
I would like a tutorial on another video editing program.
If they can SonyVegas, it would be great. In this chapter only 3 tutorials on Windows Movie Maker and VideoPad about. I look forward to these tutorials. Thank you for these videos, which help us a lot!
Hello everybody . I will make a small description of my PC :)) it's weak, bad, but for now it's good 😛 what complaints do I have?! I would like you to help me with some advice or opinions. what can I change about it? I don't know, for example: processor, video card? would it support a better one? thank you in advance. this is my model: AMD Athlon XP, 2000 MHz (15 x 133) 2400+, motherboard: Syntax SV266A (5 PCI, 1 AGP, 2 SDR DIMM, 2 DDR DIMM, Audio), motherboard chipset: VIA VT8366A Apollo KT266A, bios; Award (02/07/03) , Video Adapter NVIDIA GeForce FX 5500 (256 MB) , Monitor Philips 150S [15″ LCD] (CX 141137), Disk Drive SAMSUNG SP40A2H (40 GB, 7200 RPM, Ultra-ATA/100) , Disk Drive ST380011A (80 GB, 7200 RPM, Ultra-ATA/100), Optical Drive HL-DT-ST DVD-RAM GSA-E60L (DVD+R9:10x, DVD-R9:10x, DVD+RW:20x/ 8x, DVD-RW:20x/6x, DVD-RAM:12x, DVD-ROM:16x, CD:48x/32x/48x DVD+RW/DVD-RW/DVD-RAM). I hope I've covered everything I need to. the data were taken with Everest, I hope they are good. I'm waiting for answers.
super hard I do not I ever thought to do so, and is very easy to move some tangle dc not know. Follow tutorialu tail head and understand that it is easy
but I have a question. if you move to another partition and there desktpul I have movies and music, etc. will not get a virus somehow partition virus? Thus the virus infected music and movies etc
Do not invest money in it, when I save some bucks you make one from A to Z.
It is useless to put money in old technology.
I understand that you cultivate viruses in your computer ....
If you know for sure you do not make a Virus Cleaners?
do you interpret nonsense? I asked a simple question, I didn't say that I said that if I get infected somehow and I don't "grow viruses"
and could not answer the question? if all you say and if you're friendly without being interpreted and respond if infecteza and somehow that part if you inadvertently download viruses or virus descktop or if you have already anticipated that somewhere ms
You can get infected no matter where the virus is downloaded, most viruses must run to get infected… Choar if the viruses are in C and affect more the operating system files are many that affect the entire computer no matter where or from which partition it is running
Do you know where you inferred that I had net?
The smartphone that have permanent net of Orange, when I get home and wireless phone automatically enters the net of orange stops.
You do not have net on Buzz?
ms so much for advice, and make it a soon!
It would be nice to be mentioned in the turorial it does not work on XP, on Vista not sure, so just pw 7 and Windows Vista (I think).
Who said it does not work only on Vista and 7? If you read the comments you would have seen that I gave him a comment and a link to a video showing how to do what was shown in this tutorial, on Windows XP, read the comments!
HiPnOz3 option in Tweak UI which you say is not recommended, I tried to move the desktop, and I deleted everything I had on the desktop, then I came and I moved in Tweak UI and desktop back where it was, and I They appeared again all the things I had. So this function does not count, probably a bug.
How cool… Even if I needed such a CV… Thanks for the tutorial and we are waiting for other tutorials like this!
Aa well so I quietly Cristi but I saw that he had checked and multitoutch in XDA profit there at my default is not, but what I was buzz? I tried all sorts of applications but do not want to get out what I want, I saw that Brutal has maps, but I help where I gave the call went out, and gave the installation and see maps and told me there how to put google maps in profit and they give him http://m.google.com/maps says download from Android market and you figure there opens android and say they can not find anything in this crazy m.google.com/maps and me, I said that if may download a map of romania can be used without net crude but see the call goes out with the maps first and then after to see if it works, aha so you had no net cost to orage and arrow while walking there that you collected? I hope I have cleared the last and the first question. Thanks Cristi
Buzz is codenamed the HTC Wildfire!
It looks like you did not follow the tutorial carefully, Tax Maps is not the same as Google Maps, watch the tutorial again, this time carefully.
Yes I watched it, but another thing to say if I had read sd card SD card and save what I watch is not saved after 310mb and go out there and give an address and go all 310 MB shows me the card must be to go with him to register the card or so to walk without him? That's it, I've done so empirically yesterday I left wifi router on and I went downstairs and there I left it raw maps tel address in the location to see if all goes so sati definitely say it just worked without net GPS but mam went and elsewhere which was not seen by the phone and says connection is lost, and when I returned I went further down the road, I see
I did all sorts of experiments or experiments with Windows and Linux… the conclusion is that the operating system must be in a single partition, moving them or rather "spreading" is a big nonsense… the idea is as Downloading and installing must be done in another partition (mostly because there are programs that must be installed in: / C), do not move the Desktop… is my opinion and probably will not suit you when someone criticizes
Very good tutorial.
Hello,
this move works with Windows XP?
… Exactly as I predicted
works with XP?
@ Nelutu, mersi1 knew something but was not sure ..
@ Nelutu, thanks! I knew something but was not sure ..
Cristi, you ever heard of a hard disk WDC JB 80gb at 11 degrees Celsius when iam so was dismissed as it was very cold also wonder how did Badura started something in the house was cold and after the call May had given way than go from year to paste in the province and iam gave way and I keep it for a music game show hdd something 11 degrees and heated lam after I reached phenomenal degrees 29 not Cristi ? :)) It's an intel penitium to 1.8ghz
Cristi to do a tutorial on the new processors soket 1155
I saw that you have purchased and such on the processor (to specify the tutorial and about motherboards lga1155)
I'd like to make Tutorial video card BIOS flash uirea.
Works well on XP with TweakUI software. (It was also stated in the comments that is), I-I tried to go perfect.Multumim pt.tutorial Cristi
Good job. How do you find Christ, as you get your ideas?
Not if I shoot someone, I crossed my head.
Glove fit my situation (I have a SSD 28GB. Partition D: \ I place backwater.
Congratulations.
Well ... That said ... that's where he got the idea, and he has an SSD and that's why we decided to do, and he hit the problem space ... why scroll tutorials people? What are you looking at them if you scroll?
Boy do you have a fix with this unfolding. In order not to die "like this" I want to tell you that I never played. And then I didn't talk to you. Don't worry about yourself ruining things here. Several have told you. Take care of your business.
hello… ..good idea, thanks
But while moving the desktop, it would be better if all folderu move with the user?
Not for nothing but there are many settings that are made to the user when you change the windows… .and at least theoretically with the move of the folder and the settings that will be kept even after reinstalling win
From what I saw on the net can be done so it would be a good idea and I think many would be helpful
Cristi or Adrian please do a tutorial about this too ……
There's nothing new under the sun!
Chip magazine did an article some years ago about moving 2 not only the desktop but the folders My Documents, My Pictures, etc. downpoads.
All the best.
If you think that Chip has invented the wheel or like everything is new under the sun they're very much mistaken, it where to draw Chip? everything is worked out and detailed eventually translated into Romania, Chip inentat not nothing, I hear for the first time this magazine carespui although I'm in the IT for over 8 years
hello gentlemen!
how can we do that when we launch the "Windows Explorer" from the Windows 7 it was no longer launch the "Libraries" as the default page, but one of the partitions or directly on the "Computer"?
thank you!
Very simple, you make HERE (Click on the word here in red)
string you need to use it is this:
%SystemRoot%\explorer.exe /E,::{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D}
Much simpler, use the key combination Windows + E and all partitions directly open Computer.
Very useful! Bravo
Works on XP this thing??
@ AdrianGudus
Thanks for reply. 3 times although I watched the example shown you, we did not "get" where you copied the "% SystemRoot% \ explorer.exe / E, :: {20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D}" ... but I do a print screen by your example and then I entered manually. what's more ... it's important we go! :)
@ Gepeto
Follow older posts on page 1!
Adrian made a small video presentation and for Windows XP.
No need to pause and children were in the comment string LOL, are you still rush bro, do not have time to read even a comment 3 rows??? Some of you do not deserve to be helped because you are so comfortable
pfff… that's right! you are perfectly right! :)) but it's not a convenience only because… the old "ram"… I read everything but coming out of the page and seeing the video example… I "escaped" from the view that I had the string under my nose 5 minutes ago…
but I am ready to have him and saved for another time.
my apologies! the lecithin must give you no more
thanks Adrian! even if sometimes your answers come like a slap in the face.
I admit I was careless!
why does my location tab appears in the Properties window?
I have XP.
You only option you do not know where to look. How Bill Gates moves daddy little buttons ready .... do not know how to use the operating system if not you can look on the left and right eye ... you have only to look in the face?
You make HERE (Click on the word here in red)
How do I move the folder back to the partition C: \?
Right click on the Desktop folder / Properties / Location and here you press Restore Default.

Accidentally moving the partition file downloads C: \, I created before fisierulul Downloads in partition D: \ (as needed) and move everything there in it, but I just wrote D: \. Following all leeching goes directly into partition D: \. Does anyone know how can I change the file path Downloads?

Regarding how to change the download location, can you tell us and what browser, there's no way to guess what browser you use or what software you want to change the download location.
Thanks for solving it. Related to the browser (it's mozilla Firefox), but not about how I change the path in the browser but about how I change the path of the "Downloads" file in the C: \ Anyway, thank you very much for the details. They were great.
Cristi, I have a problem and I need your help, if possible.

Hello!
How do we do to move C :/ Program File From C In other parity?
When you install a program to remain in the partition favorites!
I hope to have a tutorial and so on!
THANK YOU!
SUCCESS to reach 100000 tutorials: D: X
This is impossible. Applications when installed do not just copy some files to program files. They also "throw" some files in the registry, some files through AppData (hidden folder) and other locations. Each file knows if it has a dependency through another folder. If you move ONLY program files, then you will encounter a lot of errors when running the software because they will not find the files, the dependencies where the application knows it had them….
The thing is more complicated than you think. What is seen in the interface when you're Next, next and finish the installation of software is not all that happens at the installation. On the back, in the background is spend and many other things not seen.
Thanks Adrian!
Hi, when I click on desktop properties in C I don't have "Location", I only have this button on the desktop properties in D. The Windows I put in had already set this. Out of curiosity I right clicked and properties to the one in partition C and it didn't have "Location". Okay, that's not the problem, I want to reinstall windows and I was thinking if the desktop is kept in D. I have an Ultimate (modified, that's why I have the desktop in D and many other wonderful things) and I want to- I get a clean Home Premium. I'm afraid that not being the same windows, it will not "remember" the configuration and will delete the one in D. I know that the installation has to do only with C, but that's how this idea came to my mind. Obviously, the desktop will be cleaned before reinstalling, I'll just leave some evidence.
last year I tried to move the "" user "" folder from partition C to partition D the property restore folder does not have the "Location" function so I moved it "manually" a piece of crap came out and I could hardly restore it. nice for stories
very good..thank you very much..I really needed..I saved 2,28 gb….
After all, it's easier to use a file in another partition where to download, than to move my entire desktop. By the way, where did you get that "99% of us put everything on Dektop"? Do you really think so?
Full tutorial is 5: 33 minutes.
Useless to talk 1: 50. Just after 3: 20. Why unnecessary? Because it is illogical to verbally repeat all the information in the article.
So the last 1 useful tutorial: 30. About 27% of the total.
Let's you translate differently, to understand the advantage: while they have registered one tutorial could do about four.
It looks like you do not understand how we achieve tutorials.
First of all:
Haste
Repetition is the mother teaching
During the tutorials we repeat the main things a couple of times, to print well on the "disk".
Usually in addition to the main topic we offer other useful information, which in context is better printed on the "disk"
Isolated information, as impetuous people like it, does not print well on the "disk" because it is out of context and cannot be easily associated with other records on the "disk".
We try to help people to think for themselves, after which they will be able to solve problems every time. We want to offer but only troubleshooting information.
Besides you are free to not look at all.
Don't worry, everything is ok, each with its own configuration,… 🙂

Hello, mi.am desktop moved from partition C partition d, but without doing folder, how do you move back? please help
Open My Computer on the left side of the Desktop. Then right click on it and go in Properties tab and click on the Location Restore Default button, click Apply, and that's OK
how can you have two partitions C (48G) and D (547) and all I have is in C, I have less and will be full, as silent and you can move the C partition in D but I do not impair the functionality of programs or handing someone leptop data is not mine and if something happens I will not be able to access.
if you run out of space that can be used leptop? I have to do?
Is Chesa moment of their ca..din you create a theme and put it on TF, and must also support you give. Working and you eat a lot of time. My opinion is strictly personal as a local web design agencies would agree to make a great theme to put on sale on ThemeForest. If the work's quality is bought and the money start coming.
