Apart from VFP settings, you should also worry about other files.
I suspect you already save most of your files in "My Documents", "Files", or something similar.
However, you should be careful of other programs that save data to their own folders. For example, one thing that is often overlooked is e-mail programs - especially Outlook and Outlook Express save their files somewhere deep in the Windows folder - without asking, of course. This is the default action, which can be easily changed.
