I do think that it serves several purposes
1 - It enables one to save data from a single source. i.e if all my user
data is on directory D: then when I back up D: it is simple instead of having
to go to several directories
2 - It does minimise disk fragmentation on C: since most of the changes due
to more user data are on D:
3 - I thought that having separate directories increased system preformance
and I am surprised that you suggest the opposite although you migh know
better and I would like you to explain why.
I agree that it is nice to have a toolbox but the use of this particular
move command is counter intuitive because when one drags and drop a folder,
if it is not present in the destination directory then it is automatically
created.
Thank you for your reply.
