Re: XP files question

Hopefully someone can help me with this....

I have my documents in the traditional "documents & settings\ my name \ my
documents\ *.*

Is there a way to truncate the path name? I have software that will manage
my documents but the long path name causes some problems. I realize I can
just use a subdirectory in the root directory - is there any reason not to
move to the root? Any limits on files within the root or any particular
subdirectory? Can I rename a subdirectory as a drive (which would be
perfect for my use).

On XP there isn't any reason not to create a folder for this presumably
older program at the root of C:\.
