|  Altering Vista 'Smart Folder' Locations Is there a simple method? I'm used to using XP's Powertoy TweakUI for this, but is there an MS equivalent for Vista? I've not seen one. Basically I store user data on a drive separate to the main drive for apps/Windows. Always have done and it's come in very useful on more than one occasion when I've lost primary drives  So I need to point Vista to another location for Desktop, My Docs, Favourites etc. Vista Home Prem, if it makes any odds. Cheers, Steve
