So I've just installed a new SSD with Windows 8 and want to redirect My Documents, My Music, Downloads, etc. to a secondary hard disk.
The simple solution, right click the directory, properties, location works alright but there is a problem.
Some applications are either hard coded to C:\Users\username\My documents or have already been installed.
For example, with Chrome already installed after moving the Downloads location when I download something it just creates a new Downloads folder.
Is there a simple way to solve this? I was under the impression that the locations option would deal with things like this but apparently not.
