[AccessD] Horror of horrors

[John Colby]

Well, I did a reinstall of windows onto the Lenovo, again using the boot
drive from my HP.  In this case I had already downloaded all the drivers
for the Lenovo and installed then onto the usb drive I was working off of.
So I am back up, with the only things lost (AFAICT) being a handful of
things in the documents directory and my DropBox local directories.

On that note, is it possible to move the Documents dir off to another disk?
