zubaz, it did give a warning. it said files int he folder wold be overwritten. i assumed it meant files with the same names would be overwritten not EVERY file. i'm fairly certain i've lost all my pics and docs. i will try your suggestion regarding public folders when i get over the anger i'm experiencing now. i have to admit i'm pretty aggravated over the skins being stored on the SSD by deafult. i know for a fact i could put wb skins on a secondary dr

i'm sad to say i don't. i'm pretty distraught right now. quite a few of those pics can't be replaced. i guess it's my fault but why would tweak 7 feel the need to overwrite what is already in a folder? what advantage is there to doing that? btw, unless i'm missing something, tweak 7 doesn't move the public folders which are where wb and ip store their skins.

oh yeah, it worked. too well! when it said it would overwrite files, i assumed it meant any files with the same file names. nope! it wiped everything in the folder! all of my family pics, important docs, and everything else! grrrrrrrrrr. doing a system restore didn't bring any of those items back, either. i'm not a happy camper at the moment. right now, i'm slapping any old drives i have in the docking station trying to find one that may have copies of these items.

zubaz, i must give you credit when it's due. you showed me something about Tweak 7 i hadn't noticed before. Thanks. although i tried to move certain folders with Tweak 7, it failed to work. i'm getting numerous errors such as "COMMAND failed".

[quote who="PuterDudeJim" reply="19" id="3106400"] Quoting Zubaz, reply 16If you move your user or program directories to a different drive through Windows you can.Can this be done? If so, I'd be interested in knowing that trick. [/quote] me too. i can move my user files rather easily. it seems to me moving the default install directories would require a reg hack which is something i'm not willing to do at the moment. i remember trying to move these directories back

A custom install option would've been NICE! What is it with everything having to be installed to the C drive? I'd prefer to have the option to install to my SSD or one of the platter drives.
