Windows Tips: Make Desktop Text Easy to Read
Select a readable system font, create a Show Desktop icon, learn how to use your Windows key.
Make 'My Documents' Point to the Folder You Choose
Windows wisely encourages you to keep your work documents separate from your application files and folders by providing a folder called My Documents. This folder is located on your C: drive by default, but why let Microsoft micromanage your hard disk? Store your work files wherever you want.
To use the My Documents icon to access work files stored in the folder of your choice, right-click the icon on the desktop and choose Properties. Select the Target tab, click inside the Target box, and either type the path to the drive and folder you prefer, or click Browse, select the folder of your choice, and click OK. You can also change the name of the icon by selecting it and then clicking its name or pressing F2, or you can right-click it and choose Rename. Then type a new name and press Enter.
