I've been reading and writing to NTFS partitions for months with Mint
Linux and have had no BSOD, reboots, or any other issues. Maybe I am
just lucky. As far as moving the location of your My Documents
folder, you don't need any special tweaking tool for that. Just right
click on the icon and and select the "Move" button and type in or
browse to where you want it to be located. Quite simple.
