It is like natural that most people will save they file on the My Documents folder, did you do the same like other people did. Did your hard disk have a partition on it like Drive C: and Drive D:, most people don't aware about this matter, just in case if you don't have a partition and you save all your file or you data inside My Documents folder then if the windows cannot start normal cause you have to do formatting you data will be get lost. But if you save it inside the other drive (like D: drive) when you format the C: drive the file on D: drive will not lost. This is pretty useful if you don't have a cd burner or you only have a small capacity usb flash disk.

I used to save my files in My Documents folder but not anymore. One time, my computer crashed badly. I can't get in into my windows anymore so I have to reinstall the windows. I had the back up of my files but not the latest one. I didn't have any partition also at that time because I don't have a big internal hard disk. So, I end up losing a lot of my data and I had to redo everything again. After that, I bought an external hard disk and I never save my files in my internal hard disk anymore. The good thing about external hard disk, I can just unplug it and move to another machine and I have all my files in there.

Back in the day, when I used Windows, no, I didn't use the My Documents, etc folder. By that point I already had my own directory structure that I used and did not see a reason to change it.

Now that I use Ubuntu (Linux) there is a similar thing to the My Documents, I don't use it either, for exactly the same reason.


myLot reputation of 88/100. mulau2u (380)   ranked 198 out of 5,805 in computer  2 years ago

you build your own directory structure that is good, easy to find and organize files:)

I partitioned my HD to C, D and E. C: is for Windows systems files, D: is for my programs & E: is where I moved My Documents folder to. So I save all my personal files to My Documents. That way if I have to reinstall Windows, I just reformat drive C: while still retaining all my files.

hi cley_cj,
i do the same as you did, it is same to make it like that so our file keep maintain on it place:)

No, I will not save documents in my documents istead i will store in seperate drive with folder naming because as my documents are in c drive I will remain c for only OS not for general purpose


myLot reputation of 88/100. mulau2u (380)   ranked 198 out of 5,805 in computer  2 years ago

yap c: drive mostly for general purpose only not good to store a lot of data on it, this can make our computer running slow cause have to read so much files or a big files.

well i do that and then it is so easy to do that but one thing which i make sur is that it is not the one which is saved in the c drive or ratrher the os drive. i change the path of my documents to another folder where all my files are stored. in this way i never loose the important files and also they are sacved easily in the my document folders. it is very handy when you are in for games and the saved game files are saved in the my document folders.


myLot reputation of 88/100. mulau2u (380)   ranked 198 out of 5,805 in computer  2 years ago

hi amitavroy,
that what i mean, i use the temporary folder on drive c: only for save a games files or other thing for easy to use back.

I made my another entire Drive only for my Downloads. All my downloads from Normal downloads, http, ftp, Torrents, everything will be saved in a separate Drive. I usually save my files in another folder than My Documents since I may not lost any File when I format my system. You may ask I can move my files to another drive when Formatting my system, but I have no space left in my 250 GB hardisk.


myLot reputation of 88/100. mulau2u (380)   ranked 198 out of 5,805 in computer  2 years ago

hi starttop123,
