You can point the 'logical object' My Documents to another existing
folder, using TweakUI - one of the XP Powertoys from (if you have
installed XP SP1)
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/pro/downloads/powertoys.asp

If you have not installed SP!, the earlier version can be found at
http://download.microsoft.com/download/whistler/Install/2/WXP/EN-US/TweakUiPowertoySetup.exe

Once installed you will find it in Start - All Programs - Powertoys for
Windows XP - using the My Computer - SPecial folders and 'Change
Location'

Or you can open a window on
C:\Documents and Settings\<yu> to show My Documents, another on a
different drive, and *right* drag the My Documents over, taking *Move*
here. That will move the existing files, and change the logical pointer
too.

You can also move the other 'my ' folders in the same way
