BTW, on dual boot Linux/Windows systems, I have created a FAT32 partition and moved "My Documents" to it. This generally works well, but it confuses some Windows apps. How you did this?
There are different methods, depending on the Windows version.
Another alternative is NTFS support in Linux.
NTFS support in linux is mature enough now to deal with this so you don't need to whack your Windows system by tossing in Fat32 for key system directories or messing about with partitions.
I've been using the Paragon NTFS drivers (free for home use) for some time and they are bullet proof. I use them for plug in media on large external hard drives, not so much for dual-boot partitions.
Does this driver also fix the problem that writing to a NTFS flash drive fails sometimes? --kdl
