Actually, the location of "My documents" directory under Windows is rather trivial to change via TweakUI from the Microsoft PowerToys (or directly by editing the registry). So on any of the 6 Windows systems I administer, the very first thing I do is to change My Documents to point to a suitable directory on my data partition.
