Questions about tweaking Windows2000 before reinstall.

Thanks to everyone who answered my previous questions, so here are some new ones to keep you all occupied! =)

  1. Windows 2000 creates this "Documents and Settings" folder which keeps all the pertinent information about users on the system. Well, personally, I hate the idea of a "Home" subsystem when the OS is standalone. BUT, I don't think there's anyway to get rid of this, and only the Administrator account has real data in it, anyway. But my question is this -- is there a way to at least relocate this off of the boot partition? I generally don't like directories that grow large and change often to be on my boot partition.
  2. Is there any native way in Windows 2000 to hide my 98 parition? I know that BootMagic can do it, but is there another option? OR, that being impossible, is there anyway to make Windows 2000 force Read-Only (or No-read would be even better) on C:? I ask because I'm paranoid of some poorly-written 98 app overwriting something in C: when installed on 2000.
 
Also, does it really matter if both Windows 2000 and 98 use the same "Recycled" directory? ie, are the files in the same format?
