RE: storing all data files on a separate partition with Windows Vi
An addendum to my instructions above:
It seems that Windows creates "Music" and "Pictures" subfolders of the
documents folder as soon as you move the "Documents" folder onto drive D:\,
and (presumably*) makes those subfolders the default "pictures" and "music"
folders, that are linked to from the Start Menu, are the default folders for
programs such as iTunes, etc.
So I would recommend doing the following: change the Documents folder (per
my instructions above) first, then restart your machine and take a look
inside the documents folder to see if subfolders have been created. Then
move any remaining folders from your User Account folder to drive D: as
necessary.
If the subfolders for Music and Pictures (and perhaps some of those other
folders as well -- Music and Pictures and Documents folders are the three
basic folders I use) aren't created, you may need to create them as
subfolders, and then move the original folders there out of your User Account
folder on drive C:
