title: How to change "Visual Studio 2017" folder location?
body: <p>How do you change the location for the "Visual Studio 2017" directory that is created under %USERPROFILE%/Documents?</p>

  <p>The old way: <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/6395057/change-visual-studio-2010-folder-location/8742787">Change &quot;Visual Studio 2010&quot; folder location</a></p>
  
  <p><strong>Update</strong></p>
  
  <p>I have changed the default Projects and Templates locations, but these directories persist in My Documents:</p>
