How to do it¶
Access¶
Edit¶
Relocate the Users Folders¶
Right-Click
on the folder- Choose Properties
- Go to the Location tab
- Click on Move…
- Set your new path
- Click Apply and close the window
Warning
If you have to reinstall your system, before to reinstall your programs, backup your preferences.
This extra step is necessary because the new installations will overwrite the previous working setttings.
A simple workaround is to create a Backup
folder (the name doesn’t really matter) inside those folders and Drag`n`Drop
inside your previous working preferences.
When your programs will be reinstalled, just Copy
Paste
the previous working preferences from the Backup folders to your User Folders.
Note
Some programs store their preferences in other specific locations.
For those exceptions, to keep your program preferences centralized, read the documentation of your program and relocate everything inside your relocated user folders.
