How can I change the default home folder away from "My Documents" to one I
choose on a stand alone PC? This sounds so simple but I cannot find it
ANYWHERE on any support or knowledge base document. Thanks to anyone who can
help!

Is this what you're trying to do?

How to Change the Default Location of the My Documents Folder

Some other notes you may find useful.
Create a My Documents folder in another partition and copy ( not move )
the contents of My Documents to your new folder. Then delete the files
in your My Documents folder ( if you encounter problems deleting use
Shift + Delete to bypass the Recycle Bin ). You will also need to
change Default File locations in the Microsoft Office programmes you
use. For Word go to Tools, Options, File Locations, highlight Documents,
click on Modify and change file path. For Excel go to Tools, Options,
General and change default file path.
