asked on

moving to win 7 - any recommendations on how to layout personal files?

Finally moving from win xp to win 7.  On win xp, I had 2 hard drives - c and D. all my data is on the d drive and I back that up.  I edited the registry so the favorites folder, desktop, my docs, outlook,fonts, pictures, etc all pointed to d:\data\.....

shoudl i bother doing that this time?  Sure, I can use an imaging software to grab all of the c drive and all the data could be on that.  I just like having all the data in 1 large folder - not fonts in windows, that file under app data, that folder under this, etc.

thoughts?

Build new PC as fresh.

Then just move over your data onto the 2nd drive after.
