Well if you're a more technical user and not afraid to mess with
things you could partition your root drive roping off system files in
"C" and create another partition for other files you store on that
physical drive under a different drive letter, then you can use the
apply to sub folders method. What I do... I have a 300 GB drive I
divided into two partitions. One is 50 GB reserved for Windows, the
other "E" is for whatever I want and uses the remaning 250 GB left
over on this physical drive. ;-)
