Hello,

I've got a hard disk formatted with 2 partitions, C: and E: (D: is the
DVD drive). I want to put my data on E:, with just programs and system
stuff on C:. I got my 'My Documents' folder pointed to E: without
problems, but how do I get Win XP to put the 'Shared Documents' folder
there as well?

Running Win XP Pro SP2 with all updates.


Thanks,
Hong

Use TweakUI, My Computer, Special Folders. Select 'Shared Documents' from
drop-down list and modify it.

After some fighting with the system (does the AVG antivirus scanner
protect against registry changes by default?) I managed to get it
working. Thanks!
