Move Offline Files location

[TimboQLD]

When I installed 7 on my Vaio I created a seperate partition for the OS & program files, & another larger partition for data. When I use Offline Files it places these directories in this smaller partition & is fast filling it to capacity. How do I tell it to put the Offline Files in the larger data partitioin?

Hi TimboQLD - Welcome to w7forums

Have you tried moving your Documents folder to the data drive?

Hi TimboQLD

If this is on one HDD can you not reduce your data partition and increase the default partition that Windows is saving to.

Hi TimboQLD

Have you tried looking under Office Apps for the default file locations?
Each App for office should have a option for file locations.

HI, I don't think I can do that without re-fromatting & then repartitioning the drive. If I'm wrong, please tell me !

No, I believe the issue is with Offline Files in Windows, not individual Office programs.

You can resize partitions without any re-formatting or repartitioning with Partition Wizard (Home Edition is free and works very well in Windows 7 32 & 64bit) > http://www.partitionwizard.com/

Thanks Veedaz,
I would prefer to keep my data on seperate partition to system files if I possibly can.
If worst comes to worst I could live with changing the partition size, but it would defeat the purpose of having seperate partitions to begin with.

On another forum I am advised to delete the Windows\CSC folder & replace it with a 'junction' but I am having problems with it. Any further ideas?
