Since I left "Documents" on the C drive, virtually all my documents and data
are freely and easily accessible from favorite links and I've created some
additional sub-folders that show up as well right along with the shell
folders of Documents, Photos, etc. hence, I find Favorite Links quite useful
and really don't have much use anymore for the full drive C folder list I
once used.
For me, anyway, it just seems to make my drives more accessible especially
when I'm moving files around or copying files from one drive to another.
