Want to move Shared Documents File

My Shared Documents File is located in C:/Windows/All
Users and I would like to have it located under the All
Users profile instead. My Windows XP (Home) will not
allow the file to be moved, and when I try to change the
entry in the registry there is no effect. (In fact, the
registry resets itself to the original location after
rebooting.)
XP was an upgrade from Windows Me, so this may be the
reason why the Shared Documents file is located in an
unusual place.
Would appreciate any ideas.

>Hi, this seems promising, but all it appears to do is to

create a shortcut to the Shared Documents File in the new
rather than actually moving it. Not sure I am using the
tweak correctly, but documentation is a bit scanty. Am I
using this correctly?
