      (The DATA (D:), that used to say Documents, was already highlighted... I clicked it anyway but nothing changed.)

When I clicked the Addressbar... it changed from Computer>DATA (D:)>     to D:\

Note:  As I mentioned above, I think Reply#15, my Start Menu now lists Documents as DATA (D:).    In the right pane.

Well, it seems like the whole D: partition is now "My Docs" :-\
That doesnt seem to be ideal to me.

Better would be e.g. D:\Documents - then you could also have
D:\Pictures etc. etc.

At this stage, I'd wait and see what someone more expert than me has to say about it all ;-)

The My Documents folder is part of Windows 7's new Documents Library.  A library combines multiple folders that contain similar types of files.
 
To move your documents to the D drive:
 
1. Create a new documents folder on the D drive.
 2. Right-click the new folder and click Include in Library > Documents .
 3. Click Start > Documents .
 4. Double-click My Documents to show its contents.
 5. Drag and drop the files to the new folder.
 6. Press F5 to refresh the view.
 7. Under Documents Library , click locations .
 8. Right-click the new folder and click Set as default save location .
 9. [Optional] Click My Documents and click Remove .

I think that Crabby has already moved "Documents" to the D partition -
but instead of being in D:\Documents they are simply in D:\

(have a look at his previous post - I may well be misunderstanding it...)


PS - also note: it's Vista - I dont know if that varies much/any from Win7...

Curt:
@ crabby3, I am getting confused.
Will you please remind us what operating system you have? XP, Vista, 7, etc.
