Change The Storage Location Of 'my Documents', a bit safer for when your PC crashes....

Normally windows saves the "my Documents" folder on your system-drive [the drive you have installed your operating system]. But when you right-click on it and go to properties, you can change the location where you want windows to save your Documents folder.
You should have a partition set up with just windows on it, and all your things you want to keep are on different partitions/disks. So now you can put My Documents on another partition than where you have windows installed. If windows screws up and you have to format your system-drive again, your documents will be spared at least...
