Since 2k Windows has supported mounting partitions to directories. It
doesn't come up on the normal installation, but wouldn't it be possible
to just mount another partition to C:\Documents and settings or
C:\Users? Of course using both styles makes it more complicated to
think, but I don't see why it wouldn't work just like mounting another
partition to /home in Linux.

Running defragger on Windows 3.1 sounds somewhat frightening.
Multitasking still sucked on Win3.1 (it existed, but it was veeeery slow
comparing to another implementations) and it certainly locked amount of
files while running. Running the defragger from DOS sounds more familiar
and sane.
