Moving My Documents Folder

I'm running XP Home, with 5 users (family),
most of whom are set up as Admins.

I'd like to move all of the My Documents
folders, and the Shared Documents folder
to a new D: drive I've just installed.

How can I do this so that all users folders
are moved, and programs that look for
folders in My Documents (eg Roxio) now
look for them in the new location?

David.
 
Download and install TweakUI:

Microsoft PowerToys for Windows XP (TweakUI)
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/pro/downloads/powertoys.asp

After installing, go to Start > Programs > PowerToys for Windows XP >
TweakUI. Expand "My Computer" and click on "Special Folders".
You can easily change the location of the folders there.
