Library files default to the C-Drive upon windows installation?

How do I get them on and my system to point to my 750 drive?


Easily. Right click on the library while Explorer is open, open the
"Properties" menu entry and tell it which folders you want to include
and exclude. None of the libraries here include *any* of the MS
default locations...


You can also move the default folder for a library by right clicking,
selecting "properties" and going to the "location" tab. For example,
with the Video library, you can add folders to the "Video" library as
you suggest, move the "My Videos" folder as I describe, or both.
