Changing Documents and Settings Location

G

Guest

Hi,

I have partitioned my harddrive into two parts, one for windows and the
other where I'd like to put all my documents. I'd like the whole documents
and settings folder to point to D: and I was wondering what I have to change
in the registry.

Thanks
