Because if the system disk is broken, It may be that the user files are lost together, so I want to set the "user folder" on the non-system disk in Windows 7. How do I make the "user folder" under my Windows 7 system set to a non-system disk?
The default location of the Windows 7 user folder is within the "Users" directory under the system disk (usually the C drive). This folder contains all the user-generated files, such as the files you saved on the "Desktop" (actually saved in the C:UsersYourUserNameDesktop directory), and then the files you saved in "My Documents" ( It is actually stored in the C:UsersjoeDocuments directory).

user folder if it can be moved together on additional hard disk (or on another hard disk partition), then the system maintenance much easier. The files that are usually generated (most people put the most files in "Desktop" and "My Documents") are saved outside the system disk (or partition); so you can always worry about the loss of user files at any time. Reinstall the system (or restore the system backup).
