Again - off topic, but whatever I move the 'My Documents' to a data drive ( properties to change it) , and give the user a shortcut to a 'backup/storage' on a different physical drive so they can drag and copy stuff there for their own convenient backup - I also configure their office etc to use their own temp directory for working space
Most systems I setup for users have separate OS, Userdata, Applications, and Bulk storage partitions on the main drive, (15Gb, 5Gb, 10Gb perhaps and the rest) and a backup drive (either caddy, or connected as USB) with a script (well bat file) to copy over the appropriate directories -email etc. JimB ----- Original Message ----- From: "James Fadden" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Friday, August 11, 2006 7:29 PM Subject: Re: Office 2003 on different drive > At 01:36 PM 8/11/2006, Kylde wrote: > >yup, I've managed to keep my OS averaging 3.5gb, a snap to ghost to > >a > >dvd, my program files folder on partition E: is another 3.5gb, with > >a > >1.5gb pagefile on D: (a single HD, the fastest of the 2) > > > Just curious: what do you do about the documents and settings folder > (or the user folders more generally)?
