[QUOTE="mac57, post: 486297, member: 17052"] One advantage you may wish to consider for using the Documents, Music, etc. folders for their intended purpose is that it makes backing up pretty easy. If all of your major files are in the Documents hierarchy, and all of your digital photos in the Pictures hierarchy, etc. you can backup all of your documents with one drag n drop of Documents to an external hard drive. Ditto for Music, Pictures, etc. [/QUOTE]
