I dont want my documents, pictures etc.. to save to my SSD. I want them on my HDD so when I click on "my pictures" it gets them from my HDD. I did this in Win 7 but I am shooting in the dark on this one.

Make new folders where you want to make them in and add them to the respective library.

Then go to manage library and set the default location to the folder you just added to the library.

Isn't that called a "Group"? Don't you right-click in the folder and set 'Group By' to 'None'?

Well, that's how it works for the Grouping in Win7.

Go to your home folder and Right click on documents, pictures, etc. Go to properties > Location. Click move, select destination. Better to do this when you do a fresh install with no data inside of the folders.
