Using Tweak UI, I was able to move my 'My Documents' to another drive, but I
have not been able to move 'Shared Documents'. Is this possible?

Thanks,

Steven

I think the Shared Documents folder is a special system folder. Probably
best not to mess with it, but create another folder somewhere and make that
shared. Then move any sub folders you want.

Thanks - I guess that means that the 'Shared Folders' in the 'My Computer'
view and in the left hand task pane views won't point to the new 'Shared'
folder?

Thanks again,

Steven

Type regedit in Start - Run and adjust the path for CommonDocuments
at both locations
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell Folders

I tried this and found that the 'User Shell' entry was
'%ALLUSERSPROFILE%|Documents'. I'm not sure what to modify this to?

Thanks,

Steven

Shared Documents real name is Documents. Shared Documents is the display name (in french XP it's Le Shared Doc or whatever) but this is only what humans see. The computer see's it as Documents. So if you want it in D

d:\documents
