Hey, your setup looks good so far! You have a 120GB Samsung 850 EVO SSD and Windows 8.1 Pro running smoothly. Everything seems to be working as expected.

For organizing files, you can create a new folder on the HDD and move your programs there. To avoid saving them to the SSD, just rename or delete the existing folders before copying.

Your main concern is about keeping files separate between drives. You can use Windows File Explorer settings to hide or move folders. Go to *View* > *Show/Hide* and check "Hidden items" or adjust the folder view. Also, you can use third-party tools like Disk Cleanup or custom scripts to manage file locations automatically.

Regarding your desktop shortcuts, you might need to reposition them in File Explorer or use a custom launcher to ensure they appear on the HDD instead of the SSD. Let me know if you need help with specific steps!

You can relocate those folders to any desired spot, even outside the SSD. Click the folder right-click > 'Properties' > 'Location' tab > 'Move...'
