Win7: Anyone else getting excited?
Innuendo:
Does anyone know how to change the default Users directory? I can't stand the idea of storing "My Documents" and other personal files on the system partition.-Deozaan (October 04, 2009, 03:00 PM)

Can't speak for Dropbox, but with most Windows directories like "My Documents" and "Downloads" you can just right-click on the folder, select Properties, and then go to the Location tab to choose where you want the directory to be stored.
Other directories Windows 7 is smart enough if you try to move the folder somewhere to ask if you want to make the destination the new default location.
Deozaan:
Thanks for that info Innuendo. I was looking for something like that but for some reason I didn't see the Location tab on my first perusal.
I suppose leaving AppData on the system drive isn't that big of a deal to me. :Thmbsup:

I'm looking forward to it but I'm still ticked about their treatment of the Ultimate version. Both Vista and the Vista to Win7 upgrade path. Unbelievably poor behavior.

Upgrades suck, anyway - clean reinstalls ftw :)

+1 w/f0dder on that. (Except I'd say: "Are not a good idea." ;) ) Save yourself a lot of grief. Do a clean reinstall.
