I think you'll run into problems because Vista doesn't use "My
Documents", just "Documents". I think you'd be better off just making a
folder called "Data" or the like on the extra partition and using it
instead of My/Documents. Share it so Everyone has full access. Nothing
says you *have* to use My/ Documents. If you use Microsoft Office
programs a lot, you can set the default saving location to your new Data
folder. Sometimes you can do this in other programs, too.
