How to change XP CD burning stage location for all users??

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.general (More info?)

TweakUI can perform this task:

Microsoft PowerToys for Windows XP (TweakUI)
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/downloads/powertoys/...

After installing, go to Start > Programs > PowerToys for Windows XP >
TweakUI. Expand "My Computer" and click on "Special Folders".
You can easily change the location of the folder there.

Dear MVPs,
Thank you for reply.
What TweakUI did is change the registry value for current user. Very much
the same thing I did manually. I want to change the setting for ALL USERS -
whoever logs on the machine, the CD Burning folder will be pointing to the
same location for everyone.
Any thoughts?
Thanks.

Hi Mark,

You can easily change the location of the temporary directory which is used to cache files during
the CD burning process through TweakUI. Under TweakUI, navigate to My Computer>Special folders and
select 'CD burning' from the drop-down list and click on 'change location'. Enter the new location
of the directory and OK your way out.
