Saving the Data 'My Documents'

Almost everyone store their data in My Documents folder. This folder is the standard folders from the computer to store our documents. There is one tips so that we can save the data that is inside the My Documents folder, so that we can avoid loss of data as early as possible.

Please note that the location of the 'original folder' from My Documents it is in C: \ Documents and Settings \ User Name \ My Documents. You can check by right-clicking on the My Documents folder and select Properties. Look at the Target Folder Location box, that's where My Documents is actually data that is stored.

Storing the data in that location is actually less safe, why?. If at any time our computer error (can not get into Windows for example) so there is no other way to fix our computers except with the Windows format, it is difficult for us to save data such as My Documents located at C, and so did the Windows format automatically all the data in My Documents 'will be erased'. Formatting the Windows equivalent to remove 'all data' in the drive / partition C.

It still could be salvaged, such as by copying the My Documents folder to another drive (such as drive D, E, etc.) through DOS, or move it through the coffee hard drive (our hard drive installed on another computer), but the above methods is tedious for us. There is a trick so that we can save data in My Documents which is to move the target from the location of My Documents to another partition, say D, E and so on.

The way is easy, namely:
@ Right-click on Start and select Explore

@ In the partition / drive other than C (eg in the drive / partition D), create a new folder with the name of array (or other names as you like)

@ Right-click on the My Documents folder and select Properties

@ Click the Move button .... In the box that appears, locate the folder that you created earlier. If so, click OK - OK. In reply box appears, click Yes.

You can check:
The contents of the folder contents of the folder My Documents = array (on the drive / partition D)

Thus, if one day your computer error and should be in Windows format, all data will be safe because My Documents is no longer stored on drive C, but was moved to drive D.

This is very important, because many people who lose their data in My Documents when done the Windows format. If these tips do you do, then such an occurrence was not going to happen to you.

Description:
@ Format Windows is the process to reinstall Windows, in other words, your Windows is replaced with a new 'total'

@ Drive / Partition is the division of the location of the hard disk for data storage in computers. If you open Windows Explorer then usually be seen writing (C), (D), (E) and so forth. The sections are useful to 'divide' our data storage locations. Unless the drive / partition to CD-ROM/DVD-ROM, drive / partition is not working to save the data but serves to read CDs / DVDs.
