following:<br>
</font><blockquote type=cite class=cite cite="">Shalom,<br>
<x-tab> </x-tab>Windows
creates a "My Documents" folder under the user name, under the
"Documents and Settings" folder.</blockquote><br>
<font color="#000080">This is the Windows default. But you can
change this and have Word (or any other program) save to whichever
directory you choose, using whatever filename you choose, on whatever
accessible disk you choose.<br><br>
</font><blockquote type=cite class=cite cite="">This is a system file.
</blockquote><font color="#000080"><br>
I do not think that My Documents is a system file. I understand
"system file" to refer to an executable file that is part of
the operating system or other control program. <br><br>
</font><blockquote type=cite class=cite cite="">To avoid this scenario, I
regularly partition the client's HDD (hard drive).<br>
After the Windows installation is complete, I cut and past the
document<br>
folder to the second partition.</blockquote><br>
<font color="#000080">Do you think that this will make Word, for example,
save to that other partition, without your telling Word to do
so?<br><br>
</font><blockquote type=cite class=cite cite="">The big advantage is that
you do not need to drill down 3 levels to find the docs.
</blockquote><br>
<font color="#000080">Again, you can set that by changing the
defaults.<br><br>
</font><blockquote type=cite class=cite cite="">BTW: File backup is not
the best long-term solution. Imaging is the preferred
method.</blockquote><font color="#000080"><br>
You can back up to a disk-on-key. You can back up to your
brother-in-law's computer in Hong Kong. Or even to a commercial
source.<br><br>
