moving the location of "Documents & Settings" under Win XP

I want to move the "Documents and Settings folder" from "C:" to "D:"
Drive. Is there a way to do this without writing command lines?

Any help would be appreciated.

Yours,
Tomasio

Not easily, nor reliably. Its coded into the Registry, in a number of
locations at install. The only certain way to do it is at install, with an
unttended installation file.
