My Documents folders

[Microsoft]

Running Win XP Pro ... NTFS file system ... several user accounts

1.
How can I change the location of My Documents to somewhere other than the
default? Eg, another drive.

2.
How can I get the shortcuts to "A's Documents" "B's documents", etc out of
the My Computer window?

TIA
Andrew
