In case there are more lazy people out there.Here is how I setup my DropBox:

After the installation was done and the DropBox folder was somewhere on my System, I went back to the desktop and right-clicked on the "My Documents" folder and went to properties. On properties click on the move button to change the location of the "My Documents" folder and select your DropBox folder as the new target. Windows will ask if you want to copy all your files to the new folder. Just click yes...

Once this is done your My Documents folder will also have the little sync icon on the folder and you can just continue using your "My Documents" folder for old habit sake but the cool thing is that now your My Documents folder be the one that syncs when you work in it. So no need to save files in different locations or change old habits and quaranteed have all your work backed up.
