But what the regular docs don't, I believe,tell you is how to change the location of $UserBaseDirectory. In Windows, at least, there are system environment variables you can set, in this case, MATHEMATICA_USERBASE. By changing the default you can, for example, keep Mathematica configuration files in a partition completely separate from the Windows OS, which makes everything more granular and, to my mind, simplifies maintenance. (I really hate the way Microsoft tried to shove so much program-related stuff into C:\Documents and Settings.) The system environment variables are documented in the Mathematica System Administration Guide, which is accessible from the Help Browser's "Getting Started" tab.
