move default location of owner My Documents Folder

Hello Everyone,
I have created 2 volumes on 80GB HDD with XP
professional. The 1st volume of 20GB is for the O.S. and
the 2nd volume of remaining GB's dedicated to
applications and data. Upon original installation the
O.S. created the owner profile. How can I move the
default "My documents" folder to the 2nd volume? Also,can
I relocate the entire profile for any user I create to
the 2nd volume. Please advise. Humbly appreciate your
feedback. Thank you.
