| I have a SSD drive for my OS and to keep it clean I would like to move my documents and other things to my storage drive. How do I make it so that the default location of those folders is off the C: drive? i.e.- When I save something it automatically knows that the folder is on the storage drive. Thanks |

I'm not sure that you can make everything go there but Microsoft Word, Excel and Publisher have an area to tell them where to save the file. Open Word and choose Tools, Options, File Locations and change it there.
Excel, Tools, Options, General Tab, default file locations I believe Publisher is in the same area |

In XP you just right click on my documents and go to properties. You can change the location. When you give it a new folder it will give you the option to copy everything from your current docs folder into it. Just make sure the new folder is empty. In vista it is pretty much the same thing from the start menu. In windows 7 you have under each library for documents, music etc. You can define the folders you want it to search and set one as a default. |

Why not just write a script and make it a backup? Is the SSD drive too small? You are missing a wonderful opportunity to make your data safer. Know what happens when an SSD drive fails? I bet it goes "poof" and no drive recovery or traditional resurrection methods will work.
