Game Help:Change Location of Downloads Folder

Change the Default Location of the My Documents Folder

Either by a user's choice or just because a computer company set the PC up that way, some computers have two drives, C and D, running off the same pysical hard drive. Usually drive C is only about 5 gigabytes big and stores all the Windows files etc., whereas drive D is a lot bigger and stores everything that's installed, such as games.

The Sims 2 uses quite a lot of hard drive space on it's own. It also plants a big folder inside My Documents that you may want to move.

• Note: My Documents is not the same as "Documents and Settings", you can't move the entire Documents and Settings folder and shouldn't try.

• 2nd Note: Some people have gotten used to the idea that D is the letter given to CD or DVD drives. This isn't the case. Windows can assign any drive letter (except A and B) to any hard drive, CD/DVD drive, USB card reader etc.

Short version

• Click Start, and then point to My Documents.
• Right-click My Documents, and then click Properties.
• Click the Target tab.
• In the Target box, browse to the path of the folder location that you want, and even create one if necessary, and then click OK.

If the folder does not exist, the Create Message dialog box is displayed. Click Yes to create the folder, and then click OK.
