Problems moving My Documents to different location

I am using a SSD for my system drive with P Pro CS5 in Windows 7.  Because of the limited space and cost of SSD compared to mechanical drives, it appeared it was a good idea to relocate My Documents to a different location.  Unfortunately, I have found that this can create several problems as follows:

 

  • Unless the Move for a system file relocation is correctly made , recovery can be risky.
  • The relocation results in a pointer in Libraries to My documents in the new location, but under C:User\'account name' the My Documents folder no longer exists.
  • When using Premier Pro, default project files appear to be normally directed to specific locations.  In a different drive than the system drive, the system defaults do not appear to apply.  If there are several users, the relocated My Documents file needs to be placed in a separate account name folder for each account in the new location.   This adds to greater complexity and can be confusing for editing with P Pro.

 

As a result, I am considering that I should leave system files where they are and limit their size.  Is there a workable way to relocate system files using P Pro?
