If you are trying to create deployment images then the easiest way is to
use the /unattend option when you build the images and add the following
entry in the Unattend.txt file:

[GuiUNattended]
ProfilesDir = "D:\Some Folder Name"

To do this after the base installation is made you will have to copy the
folder to the new location then find each and every instance of the
documents and settings path in the registry and change it to refelect
the change, a process that is not only time consuming but also prone to
errors!

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 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.
