[nfbcs] Moving Default Folders in Win 7

[Nicole B. Torcolini Home]

No. Data and storage files for programs don't work that way. If you have an
Outlook storage file, you cannot point Outlook to a shortcut to it; you have
to point it to the actual file. Same goes for other programs.

Couldn't Fred move the folders to the D drive and then create shortcuts to
them on the C drive?
