Hi,
I moved the documents folders for two users under XP (albeit with some minor problem - see below) using TweakUI for XP.
Problem1
=======
But I can't move the Documents, Pictures and Music folder under Users/Public.
TweakUI seems to accept the change, but even if I do that as _the_ administrator, at the next reboot I still have those folders in the default locations.
I guess this is a folder property issue, but I did not manage to find a solution. Any hints?
Problem2
=======
As for the minor problem I am having with the other folders (for the two users): in My Computer the "userX's Documents" still point to the default location.
How do I modify the entry in the registry in order to make them point at the new locations?
I found instructions on how to add a new folder (by adding a new CLSID entry in the registry) to MyComputer but I was not able to find the CLSID entry for the existing ones ("find" in Regedit did not find the folder location - I guess they are coded in a different way from the custom added ones...)

Bump.
Nobody ever attempted to move the shared folders in XP? -
Here's a guide I used to move My Documents folders, it may work for shared folders as well.
