Ok, please don't flame me, it is a legit question. I have been working with computers over 25 years and I just bought a WD 300GB VelociRaptor and am going to do a clean install of W7. I am one of those guys who tinkers with the OS too much and needs to do a clean install every 6-9 months.
So, then my question becomes, what is the best place for my non OS stuff? Should I put it on my other two drives? I am going to stop tweaking as much and am looking for a way to not have to reinstall programs every time - though I think I would have redgedt issues...anyhow?
Any suggestion on where to install programs this time?
Any way to not have to reinstall programs when I clean install a new OS?
Any way to change the default "My Documents" folder? Ok, on that I am just being lazy, I am sure if I google there is away to have the My Documents drive map to another drive....at least there should be a way.
Thanks in advance for the help!
