One step I found missing however was brought on by my use of Linux. Whenever you move a directory to a bigger drive, I just symlink it so I don’t have to reconfigure anything that doesn’t follow along. Granted, Windows management of “My Documents” is a little more internal than just a directory (or folder in this case), so most everything followed along. Except for Google Desktop. It actually created it’s own folder in “C:\Documents and Settings\” (after I moved everything and deleted the original) and made use of that, so obviously, it uses a full path. Windows doesn’t have a simple/proper symlinking unless you purchased some lame Resource Pack or something. Someone was nice enough to write a tool to fix this, called Junction. You can find it here.
