Change My Documents 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-

will only be accessible by the administrator and the
creating user.

You can move the My Documents and the registry references to it. MAke a
folder on the second drive that matches with the user, then open a

taking *Move* here.

This will then be the automatic place for his files. I *think* that
simple file sharing protection will transfer with it, but have not tried
to confirm the point. If not, you would have to set up access control
on that folder (And the partition would have to be NTFS), with Simple
sharing off
