problem:
the local disk c: is full of documents, movies and so on... you bought a second huge disk but you do not know how to transfer them.Solution1 (not recommended):
A rough solution is to change the folders where the system uses for "desktop" and "my documents". Personally I don't recommend you this solution but the solution2. The reason is that even Windows and other Applications are not fully compatible with windows... :) as they store and try to find files at locations where will be no exist anymore. If anyway you want to do this I will allow you to shoot your leg.
How to change from windows registry, the location of "my documents" "desktop" "application data" and so on places?
go to this key and change respectively
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders

...further away... I allow you to shoot your head...
How may I change the User Profile Folder?
- Logon to an admin account that is not the account being renamed.
- Open the Documents and Settings folder, by typing this in Start, Run dialog:
%systemdrive%\Documents and Settings
- The list of folders will be displayed. Select the corresponding folder of the user account that you want to rename or move it other disk.
- open the registry and go to the follow key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SOFTWARE\ Microsoft\ Windows NT \ CurrentVersion \ ProfileList
- find the proper sub key... and change the ProfileImagePath key

Note that is not recomended even from Microsoft!
good luck
Solution2 (recommended):
Create a directory to your new disk... i.e.: f:\store.
Create shortcuts in "desktop" "my documents".
Move your files via these shortcuts.
In future store your files these shortcuts.
Change also the .pst files location of msoffice to a place via these shortcuts.
By this way, you may format you system disks without having to find and transfer so many files.
