I'm considering relocating my personal folders, because of limited space on the main drive. However, in doing so I have the option to move all the files located in Documents. In Documents, I have tons of savefiles and configuration files for games and the like, what will happen to them if I move the Documents folder? Will the save path for those games and programs be broken, or do they follow a specific handle that redirects them to wherever Documents might be located?

EDIT: I also don't want to just add another location to Libraries. I tried doing that, and the whole solution to that was just annoying.
 
Solution
When you right click, properties, location and change it from there, windows creates a symbolic link. It's essentially a redirect so nothing gets broken.
