I'm a little confused why, although fundamentally solid, Windows 7 has some strange quirks that really make no sense to me. I'm no complete n00b, having been a computer technician in the retail sector for the past 13 years. But there is one thing that has caused me nothing but grief since I installed Windows 7 in place of an XP/Vista dual boot scenario.My problem is this. I have an Ubuntu Linux server and Windows based 2 PC's here at home. I'm running Vista on one PC and the aforementioned Windows 7 on my main PC. I have a small hard drive just for the OS (250Gb) and a 1Tb share on my server for my documents. On XP and Vista, using my server share as my Documents directory was simple. Right-click "My Documents"/"Documents", select Properties and just "Move" the location. Simple. Why have Microsoft now made it prohibitively difficult with the useless (IMHO) introduction of "Libraries"? I know that the new fad is desktop searching, but all of my documents are laid out logically in folders and I don't need to search for what I want to use. There seems to be no way of turning off this feature. Every time I try to get Win7 to use my Documents directory on my server the library wants to synchronise all my documents (which is a large amount of data) to my tiny local drive.Is there something I've missed. I've googled the issue and found some dodgy workarounds that don't work. Why has something that is so important in small business situations, become so difficult? I just want the old EFFICIENT way of doing things back. I want to click on Documents in the start menu and get greeted with the contents of "\\server\<user>\Documents".
