I have multiple drives. I Only use the admin account. I want to have mydocuments folder not be on c drive. I want all programs to point to My Documents on another drive. How can I relocate My Documents folder in the admin account so windows will know it is the original My Documents folder, and not one I have just created. kaz www.kazpro.com

TweakUI for XP allows you to change the locations of special folders, such as My Documents.
