Poll User Folder Location

I always move them. And some of my HDD's have been through so many Operating systems (or reinstalls of Operating Systems) that there are often now folders such as My 2012 Pictures, My 2013 Pictures, My old Windows vista documents, Old Win 7 Documents, Old Win 7_2 Documents etc.

I won't keep them on the OS HDD, it's just too easy for me to forget to back them up when I need to do a reformat and reinstall of the OS. Keeping them on another drive means they're likely going to be there after a OS reinstall assuming the HDD they're on doesn't take a dump.

In general I only keep stuff on my OS drive that doesn't mean anything to me, like when Nvidia unpacks it's files to C:\Nvidia, but anything that I might even remotely want to hold onto gets moved to a different HDD.

I never keep anything that I need on the same drive as my OS. I have it all on a separate HDD and I back that up to the cloud.

Same Nothing on my OS drive.

What I am interested in is what methodology was used to do this:

1) Move entire users folder at instillation via answer file
2) Move entire users folder via sym links
3) Move sub folders via Location tab

Thanks
