If you know where to search...
I re-checked, the link in the tutorial is obviously outdated (maybe it should be updated?) and the free version is mentioned nowhere on their homepage. Anyway, thank you for correcting me and posting the link :)
Well, OK. Thatīs a limitation to what can be moved, but that needs to be cross-checked with what should be moved.
My stated goal is to sync data and programs (with settings) between the OSes to the largest extent possible. But that does not mean everything has to be shared. In essence, after cross-checking, I will be fine if Contacts, Documents, Downloads, Links, Music, Videos, Pictures could be shared between the OSes (AppData would be great to share, but what ainīt possible is impossible).
Those seem to be folders that just contain data and no OS-specific information. Please correct me, if Iīm wrong.
Thank you for also posting the "undo" tutorial. I hope I wonīt need it, but who knows?
I have read about Win7 going "crazy" when changing files in itīs home partition while using Win8. Iīm trying to avoid that by using that shared data partition, and having each foreign OS partition hidden (in Win7, the Win8 partition has no drive letter, and vice versa). That way, inadvertently producing a mess as you dod should be prevented.
At this point I have to thank you again - you mentioned data linking, which I would not have thought about at all! More on that at the end of this post.
OK, so Iīm pretty much ruling that option out now, after so many warnings and so little specific info - I think, after all, itīs scaring me off
Another limitation to syncing, of course, but since my stated goal is to try and sync things to the largest extent possible, this will simply fall in the range of not possible, then (except if the idea outlined at the end of the post works).
Thank you for the tip. Planning to do that wherever possible :)

A totally new idea to sharing info in AppData between OSes (thanks to gregrocker for mentioning file linking :) )
Could I create a directory junction from Win7īs AppData folder to my Data partition, and from there to my Win8īs AppData folder (and the same vice versa) to synchronize the contents?
