Post subject: How to redirect folders to another drive?

I use the Location tab of my Documents folder to redirect it to another drive. This way I can keep all my data on one drive, and only the OS on another. I've done this with my Favorites folder, Pictures, etc.

But what about the Desktop? Can I redirect this also? I tried using Mark Russinovich's Junction v1.05 to create a soft link from the Desktop folder to another drive, but it didn't work.

I suppose I could use folder syncronization to replicate Desktop data to another drive, but I'd rather use some kind of redirect if possible.

Is there any way I can redirect all user data saved to the Desktop to another drive?

Thanks in advance.

Forgot to mention - this is a stand-alone PC, not on a domain.

Nevertheless, I found the answer. There is a location tab on the Desktop folder when viewed in Windows Explorer... maybe I missed it Shocked
