How to Change the Default Location of the My Documents Folder:
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=310147

You may also need to change Default File locations in the Microsoft
Office programmes you choose to move the My Documents folder. For Word
go to Tools, Options, File Locations, highlight Documents, click on
Modify and change file path. For Excel go to Tools, Options, General
and change default file path.

My Documents is one of a number of system created Special Folders
including My Pictures and My Music. These can more easily be relocated
using Tweak Ui. Download TweakUI, one of the MS powertoys, from here:
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/pro/downloads/powertoys.asp

In TweakUi select My Computer, Special Folders. You can scroll down to
see the full list of Special Folders to the left of the Change
Location button.

You can move programmes but to do this you have to uninstall and
reinstall.

One of our Club members bought an HP Pavilion Entertainment PC a few
years back with a 150GB hard drive (as advertised). Windows XP - all
updates applied.

However that hard drive was partitioned C: 62GB Recovery 12GB D:
75GB.
She is down to less than 1GB remaining on the C: partition. Nothing
on the D: partition. I would like to move the Documents and Settings
folder to the D: partition. In my opinion, that is how HP should have
delivered the computer.

All of the help searches return responses pertaining to Windows 2000
etc.
Any thing published for this situation, or any other help would be
appreciated.
