How can I change the Documents and Settings folder on my XP Pro workstation.
Default for all users is C:\Documents and Settings\User name\...

I want this off my C: drive and put else where.
I am running this computer in a peer to peer network.

Thanks
Finecats.

Right click on the My Documents folder and select Properties

The resulting window will have a Target tab, just enter the new location and
click on Move and it'll take care of it for you.
