Moving the Documents folder

As a very new Vista user (about 5 hours!) I want to move my Documents folder
to another partition.
In XP I just right-clicked on My Documents and in the Properties window
there was a "move" option. Can't see anything like that in Vista Home
Premium. Is there?

Thanks

In the Properties dialog for the Documents folder, the 'Location' tab allows
you to move the folder.

Thanks! I was pretty up to speed on XP, now a whole new learning curve!

I was following this thread and clicked on the howtogreek website and
downloaded the file. When I ran it, I got an error stating that "error
accessing the registry". I tried it with the registry editor open and
closed, and obtained the same error message. Do you have any suggestions as
to what I am doing incorrectly?
