Change My Document Location and Maintain Security of Profile

[Jeferey Light]

Here's what we're hoping to do: Modify the OS load so
that it defaults the My Documents location to the d-
partition and still maintains the security/privacy
afforded by the profile. In doing so, the majority of
programs will then default to saving to the d-drive but
will only be accessible by the administrator and the
creating user.

As long as the D: drive is NTFS, the permissions strategy remains the same.
To modify the OS load, all you need to do is add one line to your unattended
install file, in the GUIUnattended section:

[GuiUnattended]
ProfilesDir="DRIVE:\DIRECTORY"

Make sure that the path you give for this command actually exists,
otherwise, it will result in a fatal install error.
