I recently completed my first build, but I'm having some issues. I bought a 120GB SSD just for my OS and drivers. I also bought a 1TB HDD for all my games and other files. Unfortunately, every file I save goes directly to my SSD. Pictures, games, antivirus, etc. I need to know how I can get all of my files to save to my HDD automatically. Also, will my antivirus still be effective if saved on the SSD? Or do I need to move that over somehow? I am running Windows 7, by the way.

Much thanks!

Files
Set your browser/torrent client and whatever else to download to the HDD. At stock they will always download to C:, which is your SSD.

Program installs.
Automatically, cant be done unless your willing to edit your registry. You just have to manually set the install location every time you install a program or game.

Anti-Virus will work on whatever drive you put it too.
