OK. Heres the deal.. I want to setup my windows XP install such that
I have the OS on one hard drive parition, Program Files on another, and
Documents
and Settings on a thrid. I know you can move the Documents and SEttings
folder
using the ProfileDir in the unattended setup. What about the Program Files
folder.

Also on the same topic is there any good documentation on all the valid
fields for an unattended setup?

thanks

Your programs will have to be reinstalled and pointed to
the partition you want.

Yes that would be one way. However the problem is that
once you install windows you cannot move select programs
installed by windows, shared exes, and etc that are preformed
in the Windows Componet setup. What I want to do is
completly change the Program Files Folder such that
when windows is installed it will automatticlly install and setup
the registry such that Program Files will default to the "correct"
patition.
