RE: ntfs, fat32, partitioning



At the place where you see the ability to change the My Documents location, you'll find that it's a drop-down containing a list of
many system folders that can be moved.

The one I always change is My Documents...to someplace otherwise easy to find...it's way too buried
for my taste.
