I just had a vision, of a family called "Jones", moving from one place to another.
In the front of their house is an engraved wooden sign saying "The Jones's".
If they move to another house, the sign goes with them and the new house is now "The Jones's".
Different house, same family and the same sign.
What ever drive Windows boots up on will always be drive C: . That's where Windows and most software expects to be.
When someone tries to change that, they are setting themselves up for trouble.
I don't want to go there!
Since the earliest days of Windows, certain conventions were set up to facilitate the safe and effective operation of a PC.
Many of those things are what we lovingly call, "Safe Defaults".
What's it been now, about twenty years? And in that time some things just have not changed.
Oh yes, I've tried to change some things, but every time I did, it came back to bite me in the rear.
Having said that, there are actually a few SAFE DEFAULTS that can be modified, to assist Windows in taking advantage of the hardware it's installed on.
For instance, by default, the Windows
Kernel is located on the hard drive and
can be accessed there many times per minute as Windows runs. On a slow and fragmented hard drive, this can greatly slow down overall performance.
The Windows programmers DID provide us a means to rectify that problem by changing the registry, to cause the Kernel to load into RAM memory on Bootup. Just making that one little change to the defaults, can GREATLY impact system performance in the positive direction, even if absolutely Nothing Else is done to the PC.
It's a complex subject and as an old Tech, I could go on and on, but I won't.
Y'all have a great day now, Y'hear?
O.T.
