I usually change mine every six weeks or so. Often around the time my son has a haircut as the music shop is next door - it`s a good reminder!
I`m not too keen on the sound of new strings - I find them over bright and squeaky - for me they are at their best a few days after the evil deed.
Never had any problems taking the whole lot off at once, though on occasion, if I`m not bothering with cleaning the guitar, I`ll leave the low E on until all the other strings are replaced - using it to get the initial tuning about right.
