Getting tired of everything defaulting to "My documents", when you want to save something?
Change it to any valid folder on any hard drive.
Open Regedit, navigate to HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell folders
Look for the "Personal" key, right click on it, select Modify, and where it says "My documents", change that to anything you like.
