Just bought a new external 160 gb hard drive, connected via usb2. how do i get the computer to use this as the main storage as my internal one is only 20 gb and almost full ? (is it this that is slowing down the comp ?)

Use it as your main storage drive for the 'My Documents' folder, leaving your Windoze files on the original drive - although if it's only 20 Gb it would be better to ditch it and install the new drive in its place - it will be much quicker.

go into computer management if you're running windows xp pro or windows 2000 and go to local users and groups then to groups right click on your user name go to its properties and then click in the properties on the tab profile and change the home floder to the usb hdd, if u want my docs 2 be stored on it.
