Move shared folder

I am aware of how to move a users documents folder.
Is there a way to change the path of the 'shared
documents' folder?

Thanks,

Maynard

Hello,
I use to have the same problems as yours, but I finally found a solution. I
modified the registry, being administrator.
In the "directory",
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User
Shell Folders]
I changed the value of the "Common documents" key from "C:\Documents and
settings\All Users\Documents" to my new path.

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell
Folders]
I changed the value of the "Common documents" key from "%ALLUSERSPROFILE%
\Documents " to my new path

To avoid problems, I called also my new directory "Documents" as the old
one. In my case I located it under "E:\Documents"

I hope it's going to help you.

Jacques
