If possible, during a fresh 2K installation, how do I specify a different
location for the documents and settings directory? Or, must I wait until the
install is complete and change it then and if that's the case what is the
approved way to do that...I assume there's something easier than editing the
registry. What I would like to achieve is to be able to "safeguard" (all?)
personalized info and data stores such that if I were to reinstall 2K it
would be able to use the extant info and data.

thanks for any feedback

Jim

The only supported way is by performing an unattended install. This MS
Knowledge Base article has more information:
