I have discovered the wonders of symbolic links.
Basically, I can move a folder to another drive entirely, and then make a symbolic link back to it's original location, and programs will never notice anything.
Like the /My Games/ folder in my Documents. I moved it to D:/, then replaced the folder with symbolic link, so now programs that use the folder will be secretly redirected to the real one- on another drive entirely.
On a computer with such a fucking tiny hard drive, moving space-eating things to a 64-gig SD card is a brilliant idea.
