Moving 'My Documents'

Thanks, DL!

You are hitting on something that I have wondered about. Although I am
pretty comfortable working with (and configuring in) XP, I am not how to move
'My Documents' to the D drive. For example, can I just cut/paste it from the
standard Documents and Settings from the C Drive? Will it keep the inherent
'My Documents' folder qualities (like privacy options, for example)?

Hopefully I am expressing myself clearly, but can you elaborate on my
aforementioned thoughts?
