I recently partitioned my hard drive into two parts before installing Windows. One with 4GBs for Windows files and the other the 76GBs for files and storage. Only problem I didn't expect was for My Documents and defaults to all be in the small 4GB partition.
So the question I have is, is it possible to transfer the My Documents Folder over to the larger partition (in this case my F: drive), from the small C: drive partition? So when I go to install programs, by default it goes to F:? Help, pretty please? =)
 
It is possibl, but I am not sure where to set it. My suggestion would be to search the registry for "C:\Program Files" and "C:\Documents and Settings".
I know there are settings in the unattended install file to put those directories anywhere. Of course then you might run into problems with ****ty software which assumes these places to be hardcoded at the places they are now
