How do I move "My Documents" to be located on a higher capacity external drive?

Since I bought my system 2-3 years ago - I've had "My Documents" located in c:\documents and settings\blah blah whatever. Now I'd like to move that all off to another drive and have My Documents be there. What is the procedure to move that? Thanks.

Right Click on My Documents (you can even use the one in the Start menu) and select Properties. Type in the Target drive you like to have the files saved, including a larger secondary HDD.

If you have another drive installed just copy the folder. Open my computer and the newer drive and paste it wherever you want.
