    Vista Ultimate - 'User' Folder Location

    No tried that.

    Can copy the entire folder to D; but Windows still points to C as the location. Can change personal folders location to a folder on D;, but this still leaves hidden files etc on C;. Thus meaning there are 2 Users folders. Have managed to change the Public folder location to D;, with some registry tweaks, but this doesnt seem to work for the entire folder.

    any more suggestions

    Network drive attached to TPlink 2300 router appears as a media device

    I've tried everything you suggest but no joy I'm afraid. Thank you for trying to help but I think I have to give this up although I hate being beaten.

    Network drive attached to TPlink 2300 router appears as a media device

    @DevonDave,

    Thanks for posting your screenshots. What happens if you do this:
    • Open Explorer, tick on Network to select it, in Explorer Network address bar type \\C2300-Share\?

    The result from above should be that you see a Windows Credentials Prompt appear asking for the logon information for your router, then this share opens to show content of the share and the location name as above shows up under Network in Explorer.

    One thing I see that looks odd to me is that there are no folders listed as shared under Sharing Contents in your screenshot even though the check box is ticked there. What I see instead is a drive letter. So if the above suggestion does not work for you try this next:
    • In the Explorer Network address bar type \\CS2300-Share\G

    Does that now result in a credentials prompt showing up? If it does then enter the credential for your router and the share should open. You can then use the above to Add a Network Location as described earlier on any LAN attached PC.
