Shared Documents Location

[Dean]

Can anyone tell me how or if you can move the location of the shared
documents file to a drive or parition other than the default? Thanks,
Dean

Hi Dean,

Drag Shared Documents to a new location and rename it (if preferred). Then
go to Start/Run/Regedit and change the paths under these two keys to reflect
the new name (?) and location under Value Data:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell
Folders

Common Documents, Common Music, Common Video and Common Pictures

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User
Shell Folders

Also under this key, add Common Music, Common Video and Common Pictures as
Expandable String Values (REG_EXPAND_SZ) and specific path under Value Data.

Log off, log back on and then delete the original (not necessary). (Note:
It will have become renamed if you chose to do so).
