[QUOTE="vansmith, post: 1263512, member: 71075"] As lifeisabeach has noted, the only way to do this would be to have your user directory exist elsewhere since your Desktop just displays the contents of the Desktop folder in your user directory. That said, you're probably best leaving your user directory on the SSD - you'll only run into issues having it elsewhere. It would seem that you purchased the external drive to accommodate the fact that you're running out of room but you also don't want to change how you store files. Something's going to have to change ;). [/QUOTE]
