Thanks for that......
I'm thinking that I might just make a shared DATA partition for the (three...) Linux distros I plan to install and leave Windows out of it. That would mean I could format the DATA partition as Ext4 rather than NTFS. It would also save me the complication of figuring out how to "symlink" between the DATA folders and the folders in Windows "My Docs/Pics/Music...".
Editing /etc/fstab is another matter. Is this an alternative way of setting up symlinks, or a necessary extra step which gold_finger didn't mention?

editing /etc/fstab is required for that to work correctly.
Which makes things more complicated.
I don't mess with that on my Windows Laptop.
Because my Windows Laptop is my Biker Tuner laptop.
Just giving you info on what to expect. The more you want. The more steps and complicated things get.
