I have to disagree.
I have to disagree. I pfeerr games being saved to My DocumentsMy Games or a standardized location. That way if I need to back up or move them to a new computer its easy, I don't have to go searching every game folder for saves. Programs I install to my D:Games, D:Apps, or similar. I try to keep my C: drive partition down to where it will fit on a single DVD-R and use tools like Acronis to make an image of it a few times a year. I just put a few essential applications and the OS on it. If Windows gets hosed (and that is usually what does), I can restore the C: partition from the image and I am back up and running in minutes.The first thing I do when I get a new computer or OS install is right click on My Documents, Properties, then move it to D:/My Documents. I don't want it buried in Documents and Settings/username/My Documents.Point 5 - that's particularly dangerous; just erasing the directory the game is installed in. In my years of working on computers I have seen users put files anywhere so if the program does not check and remove only the files it is supposed to, then it can cause problems. Sure, they shouldn't have put them there, but people do stranger things than that.
