Change default user $HOME location folders paths?
by 4ML220 from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5BW7X)
Hi guys.
Cloud you plese help me how to change the default paths of the default user folders (Documents, Downloads, Music, Pictures, Screenhots, Videos) to my location on diferent /dev/sda with ntfs?
After instalation 4Mlinux v34.2 from LiveCD to PC hdd I'd like to set my own default folders paths for all system and applications.
my MBR hdd is:
/dev/sda1 ntfs winboot 100 MB
/dev/sda2 ntfs win7x64 100 GB
/dev/sda3 ntfs dataall 300 GB
/dev/sda4 extended lba
/dev/sda5 ext4 4mlinux 25 GB
So after installation the default paths are all to /dev/sda5/root/:
Documents
Downloads
Music
Pictures
Screenshots
Videos
How or where can I please set all these defaults to the diferent new default path - onto diferent device /dev/sda3/ (which is ntfs)?
By the internet info I was looking for config files simular to:
/etc/fstab.local
/etc/default/user
/etc/gconf/gconf.xml
/etc/user.conf
/root/.config/user-dirs.dirs
or for files with settings:
XDG_DOCUMENTS_DIR
or $HOME/Documents
... but didn't find any of it
Or should I - instead of changing paths - erase those folders and just do-set symlinks rather so system and all applications will recognize it?
