Altering Partition Sizes / Changing my documents location

[G18241]

Had our pc a couple of weeks now and set up 2 partitions

1 20GB one for windows and vital stuff and the rest for games etc

Now the 20GB partition is nearing being full, because of certain games having to have things saved in my documents, one of those folders alone is nearly 6GB, is there anywhere i can alter the sizes of the partitions without having to do a fresh install, or lose anything?

Or alternatively is there anywhere to relocate " my documents " to the other partition so that the files on it will still run in game?

Right click on my docs and click props, you can change the location from there. If you decide to use partition tragic make sure you make a backup first.

TweakUI for Windows XP can do this, it's found on Microsoft.com and is free. You can change individual folder locations for My Documents, My Pictures, My Music and My Video through this. Handy if you have a seperate drive for media.

I use an external drive for my media lol

This is all because of the SIMS, having to have downloaded content in my documents instead of its directory stupid game
