How do I set AppData Location in windows 8 to Separate Drive

Post by simonmlewis »

I am using 12.1gb of AppData storage in users/simon/appdata on my SSD.
I want to store anything like this on my separate internal HDD which has way more space.

I have done it for My Documents, Pictures, Music etc.... but when I right-click on AppData and Properties, I don't get "Location" tab.

I'm told it's the system is using it. But I've also read people saying they have done it. So how do you do it?

Secondly, I have reduced my pagesys file from 16gb to 5gb. Far better. But how do I reduce my hiberfile.sys file for Hibernation? I've turned Hibernation off, but the file is still massive. Be nice to reduce that to nil.
Love PHP. Love CSS. Love learning new tricks too.
All the best from the United Kingdom.
