Could someone tell me how I move My Documents folders to
a different local drive (XP Pro)? I want to separate my
program files and documents etc. I've got three different
users, I need to move all of them.
Thanks.
 
Download and install TweakUI for Windows XP. There is a setting in it to
change just that.
 
Right click "My Documents", select "properties" and type new location.

Click to expand...

Or (if you do not have a My Documents icon - not all systems do), open a
My Computer window on
C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\
to show My Documents, another on the alternative container (drive or
folder) and *right* drag it across, taking *Move* here

Similarly with other special 'My' folders
