  8. Windows 7 Migrating Windows System Directories.

    Windows 7 All Programs menu broken

    The "All Programs" menu off of the start menu isn't working any more, at least not when logged in as me (it works logged in as Administrator). I think this is related to the fact that I move a lot of stuff off of my C: drive (SSD) onto the E: drive, with Junctions to make the paths from C...

    Is there a limit to the size of a boot partition for Windows? Seems like Win 7 will only install on partitions smaller than about 2TB. If this is the case, what is the best way to make sure all the user directories and public folders are installed to a different drive rather than the boot...
