Is it possible to put the Documents folder on a drive other than the C drive?
If so, how do I do it? Do I go to Properties & change the path? I want to
build a PC & I want to set up the Documents folder on a RAID mirror so if one
drive crashes, I'll still have my files.

Thank you.

Hi,

Properties of the folder, location tab, click "move".

Hi PC Nerd,

In addition to Rick's post above, here is a detailed tutorial on how to
do it to if needed.
