  1. Location of library folders


    I've just installed Win11 on a new computer. As expected the library folders were created on the boot drive. I want to move these folders to a larger disk I have installed. In previous version of windows, there was an option to set the location of libraries. This now only seems to exist for the Desktop.I suspect this has something to do with One Drive which I have no interest in using as the library folders were created in a One Drive directory. I have unlinked the computer from OD, and even un-installed it. Whatever I do, The folder links remain stubbornly inaccessible as libraries unless t

    Picture User Folder vs Library Picture Folder / Add to User folder

    Hi,



    Form the issue description, I realize that you are trying to view your pictures in the default pictures library. To do so, you have to change the location of the folder that contains your pictures to the default pictures library folder.



    To view your pictures in the default pictures library, I suggest you to follow the steps below.




    • Right-click on the default Picture folder
      and click on Properties.

    • Navigate to Location tab.

    • Click on Move…. and select the folder that contains your pictures and click on
      Apply and then click on Ok.


    Hope the information helps. Kindly write back to us for further information on Windows. We will be happy to assist you.



    Thank you.

    Location of library folders

    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
