My Documents: Is There Two or One?
1. Is there two My Documents or one?
In the library, there is a:
Documents/My Documents
and a
Computer/C:/Users/{Username}/My Documents
Are they both the same?
If you redirect one to another hard drive, will they both go there?
2. There is a padlock icon on my "Username" under Users. Why is that? Is this what is called my profile? What parts of this make sense to move to the other hard drive with my data? What parts, if any, are better left where they are on the C drive?
3. Under Documents/My Documents, Folders are Music, Pictures, and Videos. Under C:/Username/My Documents, folders are My Music, My Pictures, and My Videos. The names are different. So are those the same folders?
4. Under Documents/My Documents, My Music is a folder under Music, along with Public Music. Is there any significance to this folder structure? Why is Microsoft creating such a detailed folder structure anyway. Do they think users are incapable of setting up there own data system? They are causing me to get confused with all this detail they have set up. I don't know if I can change it without creating some kind of problem.
3. All of these folders like Music seem to be on the same folder level as My Documents, rather than as subfolders of My Documents as they are in XP. Is that right?
I want to shift My Documents and all data to a separate hard drive, so I need to understand this whole folder structure in Windows 7.
