How do I redirect My Doc folders to a different partition?

[Guest]

What I want to do is to have the My Documents folders (aprox three different users) redirected to a different partition (D: instead of C: where the OS is installed) of the hard drive so that they are safer and easier to back-up. I need this done on a local computer.

In MS help documentation there are clear directions for redirecting the My Doc. folders using Group Principle. The problem is that the Local Group Principle (which is what a local computer, not in a network, has) doesn't support redirection of My Doc. folders. The help documentation fails to explain why or what to do if you still want to redirect such folders.

If you have an answer I would greatly appreciate it.

Right-click "My Documents" on the desktop, then specify the desired
location.
