Beware of hard-coding issues in Vista user folders

Microsoft has added the ability to move user folders such as the Desktop, Favorites, Contacts, and other user-specific data in Windows Vista with simple drag-and-drop operations. While this is certainly an improvement over Windows XP where you could relocate "My Documents" (Note that Microsoft has wised up and dropped My from the naming conventions) to a different physical or logical hard drive partition, it still doesn't address the fundamental issue Microsoft's bad decision to put user data in the same volume as the operating system.
