    Moving My Documents Folder (FF Needs 12 GB)

    So my "My Documents" folder is on my SSD right now, and that drive is pretty much packed. I was planning on just running FF on my regular hard drive, which has tons of free space. The installer is telling me it won't run b/c it needs the drive "my documents" is on to have > 12 GB free.

    Can I just drag and drop the my documents folder from my full c: drive to my empty e: drive? Or is there a special way one has to go about that to avoid all sorts of random computer errors I can't begin to imagine at this point?

    Probably a really stupid/straightforward question, but I'm not much of a computer person and I don't want microsoft office or something to spontaneously combust on me or anything.

    You can just Google guides on how to change the location.

    Neat, that was an easy fix. Glad I didn't just try to drag and drop. Thanks.

    Sure, I can do that. My "solution" was basically just to run the google search suggested and blindly follow the first link that looked like it applied to Win. 7 though.

    But if it would help anyone, the link I used was:
    http://hubpages.com/hub/Windows-7_-_Moving_My_Documents

    Took just a few minutes, and nothing seems to have spontaneously combusted (yet!)
