Re: move my documents automatically

I was hoping if there was some tweak available or a script that would do such
thing. The script perhaps can be put in Default User that's automatically
run whenever new user is created or a script that an administrator can run,
after new user is created, that basically do the same thing as moving the My
Docs target as if s/he were the user (by changing registry perhaps? it
shouldn't be so complicated, should it? I mean if you're the user you just
click on Move to the new Target Location). The script also sets the proper
security settings for the new Docs folder (Is it just System and the User
with Full Control settings?)
