Moving 'All Users' shared documents folder

[Plinio Conti]

If I open an explorer window (computer's resources) I can see a 'shortcut' named
'Shared Documents' to the Documents folder under 'All User' profile.
I moved the 'All Users' Documents folder to another position in the
file system.

Now If I open explorer I can see the shortcut but its same is just the
folder's name, not 'Shared Documents' as before.

1) How can I have the icon named 'Shared Documents' again?
2) How can Window XP do that? Can I use the same feature elsewhere?

you assumed the wrong way to move the Documents folder.

to learn the right way to move the Documents folder, use
Help and Support from the Start button, type in the Search box the words
"move Documents folder", and click on the link labeled
"How to Change the Default Location of the My Documents Folder"
under Microsoft Knowledge Base.

No. I used exactly that way to redirect "My Documents" shortcut to
another folder (by the way: I failed to redirect "My Documents" for new
users editing ".default" profile. Any idea?).

But my question was about something different. I moved "All Users"
Documents folder, which under Explorer used to be displayed as "Shared
Documents". Basically I got it editing
"HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell
Folders" and
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell Folders".

That worked. Now the link in Explorer brings me to elsewhere (ex.
D:\SharedDocs), and no more to "C:\Documents and Settings\All
Users\Documents". The problem is the "magic name behaviour" disappeared:
the link in Explorer windows is not called "Shared Documents" anymore:
it just takes the name of the folder (say "SharedDocs" in the previous
example)

Thank you.
