I've never run into a problem with the scenario you postulated. The OS reads the partition's directory.I see, but that is simple.
1. Create a seperate data partition
2. Make 4 folders in that partition (Docs-2, Music-2, Videos-2, Pictures-2). In lieu of the -2 you can use anything. I use my initials. It is just to distinguish them from the folder names in C.
3. Move the data from the corresponding folders in the C partition to those new folders.
4. Right click on each of these new folders and include them into the corresponding library. Now you get something like this. I use my initials in the front for distinction.

5. From now on everything pertaining to the system and to programs will go into the original folders in C (mainly into Documents). All you user data should go into the new folders.
Where is the information stored, that is saying that this and that folder are included in that library. I mean where is the "link" between folders and libraries stored?
Say this scenario:
1. you image your OS partition
2. one week later, for some reason, you rename your Music-2 folder (on the data partition). Or delete it.
3. you need to get back the OS image cause you have an OS problem.
Will the OS image contain library links to an unexisting folder?
