Hello, I recently got my new computer and moved the location of mydocuments over to my storage hdd, however it broke soon after. I have a new one now and I manually set the location to the default path on the ssd. The problem I have is that is doesn't work as how it worked by default.
Here is an image of how it currently looks like: http://puu.sh/8DQlH.png
Also in Battlefield 3 it doens't save a config file, so I manually have to adjust the settings everytime I start the game. And in Adobe applications like Première and Photoshop, it looks for the mydocuments, but can't find it (http://puu.sh/8DQqd.jpg).
Thank you in advance for your help

My documents is a system folder and cant be moved

You can create a folder called My Documents on another drive, create shortcuts to it , and save files to it easily enough .
Create the folder, then paste files to it . If you do it that way the hard drive can be connected to any computer and be complete

That is what I did before, but I deleted the original My documents folder and I want to restore it on the default location.
So I don't want it on my HDD but on my SSD, but the applications I mentioned don't see it as the My documents folder.
