Situation:
One computer with one user, but two accounts are on the computer. The
same user currently uses both accounts, but I'm trying to get the user
to use just one account.
Two questions:
1. Is it possible to redirect My Documents from both accounts to the
same location on a different drive/partition?
2. Could it be done safely to an external USB drive that may or may not
be occasionally disconnected? The assumption is, when the drive is
disconnected, nothing will be saved to My Documents.
I'm trying to help a friend clean up the mess he's created on his old
computer over many years. I'm not sure how he got started doing what he
did, but I suspect it was out of ignorance.
Ultimately, I'm hoping to get him to use a limited account on a daily
basis, and never ever using the administrator account except in the case
of emergency. If I can convince him to do this, then we can move his
docs from the admin account to the limited account.
