i use drive C, not D.
It shouldn't matter. For a while I had a Trainers folder on both drives, until I merged the folders. It never overrode either exclusion.
The only reason my trainers are on Drive D is because I used to have Windows XP on this computer. So, rather than losing everything on the hard drive when I upgraded to Win10, I installed a new hard drive and set my computer to dual-boot. Note that when I boot to WinXP, my WinXP drive is C, and when I boot to Win10, my Win10 drive is C. Both Win10 and WinXP have full read/write access to both drives; it just automatically swaps the drive letters when I swap operating systems so that my programs won't be "broken" (looking on the wrong drive).
Yes, Windows 10 did that automatically. I didn't have to do anything but tell the Win10 installer that I wanted to set my computer up to dual-boot; Win10 did the rest. So you can tick that off under "something Microsoft actually did right".
No, I haven't used WinXP in nearly two years, but it's there if I need it. I found out it's a great way to get rid of viruses. Like, one time, I got a rootkit that wouldn't let Win10 boot, not even in Safe Mode. (One of those "the FBI has locked your computer until you send a prepaid cash card to this P.O. Box" scams.) Not a problem; I just booted WinXP and deleted the virus from there.
