Just finished partitioning and formatting my 1TB HDD for my new computer. I installed Windows 8.1 on a 128GB SSD that I will use for programs (and games). I want to use the HDD for everything else, including pictures, movies, music, downloads (including not-yet installed programs) and documents.
I like the User setup Windows implements. Pictures, movies and all that all have their own default directories that are recognized by most programs and--more importantly--Windows. I want to keep that, but just have it on the other drive. I thought about mimicking the directory layout [Users > User Name > Sub-directory], but figured it wouldn't link everything like the other folders do. I considered just copying the whole Users directory buuuuut that seems like a bad idea. I also thought about just putting a shortcut in the original directory that links it to the other drive, but that just seems dumb. Are there any official/clean ways to do this? Help would be appreciated greatly.
