There is plenty of information on how to do "Folder Re-
Direction" in a Domain or Active Directory Group Policy
enviroment.

However, I have Four networked PC in my home, (No Domain,
Roaming profiles, centralised logon etc etc). They are
only networked in a WORKGROUP environment for WEB and
EMAIL access.

Each PC has multiple Hard Disks as I like to keep the
System (OS) drive seperate from Programs and Data.

How can I set up folder redirection for "My
Documents", "My Pictures" etc from my C: "system drive"
to D: "Data" drive? Are there any registry enteries that
I can amend to do this?

Thanks David!

I suppose I'm a typical techie "looking for a technical
solution - and missing the obvious!!!"

Thanks Again, Andy

Just drag them in a move. Must be a move not a copy.

Is there any Registry setting or Group Policy which will take care of this
Folder Re-Direction?

If you are on a domain there is a group policy. Moving the folders updates the registry.
