Special folders such as My Documents, Desktop, and so on can be changed to any other location from that set by the default instalHACKS lation. There’s a way to do this without a registry hack, but using the following hack is simpler. First, just move the required folders to the new locations. Then…
Navigate to:
HCU\ Software\ Microsoft\ Windows\ CurrentVersion\ Explorer\ User Shell Folders
Open this Registry key and edit the full path for each special folder with the corresponding new path. For example, the default location of the My Documents folder is “C:\Documents and Settings\username\My Documents. Move the folder to, say, “F:\Documents”, and update the value for the “Personal” setting with the new path, that is, “F:\My Documents”, without the quotes.
The change should take effect immediately.
