What folders do you lot move to a different partition?
I was thinking, desktop, pics, vids, music, downloads and my docs folders.

Any others I should move over?
 
If it's a partition on the same drive, then does it matter ? I guess this is down to user preference really. If I had my files stored locally then everything would be on another drive bar the OS, but that's just me.
 
Well this is for a laptop so single drive, was thinking of doing it in case the new user of it screws up the OS, atleast then I can just reinstall Windows and there data can remain in place on the separate partition.
 
Well the ones I have on the server are Music, Videos, Pictues, My Documents and Downloads. I just amended the Library location and it was sorted. This may also be good for your user.

Also, Christmas hats :):D:p;)
 
You said desktop as well. Knowing how utterly messy some people can be with saving EVERYTHING to their desktop, then that would probably be a good one to move as well.
 
Ok cheers, I'll move the ones I mentioned then.

Oh and christmas hats didnt work. :rolleyes: :p;) actually they do, doh.

Yer I know, I'll often save some files to the desktop though, but with stardock fences, a simple double click of the mousey and its all gone. :cool:
Just need to get the person in the habit of putting stuff in the right folders.

God christmas day is going to be full of what's this, how do I do that questions... as its going to be a pressie, think I'll start drinking early. :D
 
pffft, I've been that guy for the last 10 years. 'insert head against brickwall smiley'

Friends, family how do you do this/that, ahh google it!

Turning into a bit of a rant thread. lol
