OS & personal files

I read some where that you should not have your OS and personal files together, keep them separate. It states do not use the My Documents default. My ? Is how do you go about doing this. Thanks slls

open Windows Explorer. From My Computer, right-click on My Documents and select Properties. The first thing that pops up is a "target folder location" screen. Select "move" and pick the desired Drive or folder in the future, Windows will go to the target location whenever you look in "My Documents" You may have to physically copy everything over the first time. After that "Save" should default to your New My Documents location. this is a good plan if you have more than one Partition on your Hard Drive, or if you have more than one Hard Drive. If your C:\Windows becomes infected, or crashes, your Data will be safely at another location. If you only have one hard drive and it is not partitioned, there is no value in this procedure.
