Okay, I have done this before, used one HDD as the main in this case a laptop, SSD ( Fresh win 7 64 )
Then put all the "user folders" on the second drive,

I just do not recall having this issue,

I do this by making a folder on the second drive "P" and name the folder lets say "cat" so the address is "P:\cat"
I allow the relocation to create the new user folder for example P:\cat\my Documents\
However, if I go into that folder and take a look at the new address it reads,
"P:\cat\Documents\dog toys" the "MY" isn't not in the address but in the folders name...is that correct?

Second part of my issues,
When I click start then the user name lets say c:\ruby in that appears the user folders I relocated to P:\cat\ ..that normal, they go to the new location but there are some new folders, music pictures roaming and video,

Roaming seems to be fine, I can open it but pictures, music and videos do not have the "my" in front of them and if I try to open them I get "access is denied" if I try to delete them I get the do I really want to when I click that I really want to delete it tells me I must have administrative permission to do that, I am a admin...so please someone more savvy on this that me help me out here, I guess I wouldn't care so much of not for the fact that the folder move caused the new folders to appear and I can not access or delete them....many thanks,

Cheers,
Bats

 
Solution
That My Documents and Documents view is normal, it depends on if you are looking at the Library or the Folder itself. If you look in Libraries, you will see Libraries > Documents. About the access denied part, that may be an issue with the location and if you played around with any rights or not, and if the folder is a mapped drive or not. The folder may be set to read only, or have other rights changed on it.

It depends on what you did when you moved and created the folders. When I write scripts to backup user directories, the backup of My Documents is named "Documents". Would need to see what you did exactly to know what happened. You are using the built-in Location tab from the Properties of the folders to move the user files right?
