Basically the solution was to implement a way to do what I described above about Vista.
-One step redefinition of personal folders location
-auto move existing files to new location
-auto move does not mess with existing files

I believe LVM is probably what Kurotenshi is looking for.

If I remember correctly there is an guided LVM option on the Live CD however I think there are several problems with this:

1) (Blurry on this) I believe there is no option to keep any existing installs with LVM (might of course be wrong).

2) For the new user there is not much information available on LVM, they simply won't know what it is. I started using Ubuntu over a year ago and have just now started using LVM.

3) LVM is probably too difficult of a concept for the new user, especially first timers.

4) Even if the user sets up guided LVM how do they manipulate it. As far as I know there are no graphical tools for manipulation of LVM installed by default in Ubuntu.

Therefore, what I propose is a two part application to help new users/users with less IT skills to install LVM by default.

The first part would be on the Live CD, say an option allowing users to do a "dynamic install" (no sense in throwing jargon like LVM at people who don't understand it) which will install LVM alongside existing partitions for other OSes.

Allow people to selecting next layer of folder. User go to folder property, click on move all new files to seperate folder/partition and input a path. User can also select option move all existing files to this folder and remove files from old locations.

Some user may use it for mirroring work. We need to deliver our work to our boss? We can select Home > Documents > properties > storage page . Set removeable media where we must place the work as next filesystem layer and modify documents.

It's not about integrated this function for each folders, but some like Documents. If you realize my idea then Documents must be stored in separate folders.
