I don't. But once, when I created a partition, it automatically set itself to compressed, then when I started moving things across, they turned blue.(I know, I should have checked first) </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/changing-the-location-of-user-folders#post-17754 Sat, 12 Apr 2008 10:58:54 +0000 pipo 17754@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>@jd2<br /> from the user folder, i right clicked the folder &gt; Properties &gt; Location tab &gt; move.</p> <p>i tried your suggestion, it worked for the files inside the foler but not the user folder</p> <p>@Lighthouse<br /> does that mean i can't compress the partition when i put user folders there? </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/changing-the-location-of-user-folders#post-17753 Sat, 12 Apr 2008 10:49:45 +0000 Lighthouse 17753@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>This will happen if you moved the folders to a compressed partition </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/changing-the-location-of-user-folders#post-17752 Sat, 12 Apr 2008 10:44:05 +0000 jd2066 17752@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>How did you move the folder? Seems like an odd thing to happen from just moving the folder.<br /> Blue text means the folder is compressed. Just right click on the folder, click properties, click advanced at the bottom and uncheck "Compress Contents to save disk space". </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/changing-the-location-of-user-folders#post-17751 Sat, 12 Apr 2008 10:36:12 +0000 pipo 17751@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>quick question, when i tried to change the default location of a user folder, ie. Documents and Videos, to a partition on my computer, the text of the folder name and the file names inside the folders turned blue. the last time i changed the location, i don't seem to remember that happening. anybody know why this happened and how i can change the text colors back to the default? </p>
