Welcome to PCMech, John_Kelleher!
 You can redirect "My Documents" to a different location. Right click > properties > type in new location (target).

Download TweakUI from the Microsoft website or from www.freewarefiles.com amd then go to the location marked by the red arrow in the attached image. It lets you change the locations of most "Special Folders" on your PC

Yes. I believe it takes up about 200-250MB.
