No does it automagically - I did have an entry in /etc/fstab to load it on boot but not got round to putting it back in, since a re-install (me messing about too much, I hasten to add).
The separate home partition can save a bit of grief, if you fancy starting afresh 😉
Just bear in mid that if you use folder/file compression in Windoze (as I do), then Linux can read/write to them no problem but new files that are created in the same folder (I hate that - directory!) will not have any compression.
I'm sure, just like XP, that you can stop a lot of extraneous rubbish: System Restore, Indexing, pre-fetching etc. etc....
Compress little used directories, such as Service Packs/i386 - if you wish to retain them. Delete all the stored updates in the system directory, those $kb....$ files etc.
