Make a games folder in your root C: and put it in there.

Exactly right! As long as you don't have it in Program files it will be fine.
Even more practical is a separate partition on the hard-drive. It saves the need to defrag the gigabytes that the game(s) take up, and preserves them if you ever need to format and reinstall your OS. You just have to take care with selecting the filepath when up-dating or adding skins, missions and so on.
I also like Win 7 64bit, it's a good replacement for XPx86 imo
