Move "Documents and Settings"?

G'Day All,

For years I have had PCs with 2 HDDs, and always located "My Documents"
on drive D. I then also need to move other files such as my Outlook (.pst)
Personal Folders and My Office Templates folder.

I am about to re-build my System and was wondering if there are 'neat' or
'recommended' strategies for moving:
My Documents OR
My Documents + 'other stuff' OR
All of Documents & Settings.

Any advice would be appreciated.

The Documents and Settings folder can be placed in a different at the
time of installation. For how to do this see this article:
