The proceduer is the following:
To specify a different folder for the entire “Documents and Settings” folder, including key system components, follow these steps:
Log on to the computer as an administrator.Create a new folder.
Open the current “Documents and Settings” folder.
On the Tools menu, click Folder Options, and then click the View tab.
Under Advanced settings click Show hidden files and folders, and then click to clear the Hide file extensions for known file types andHide protected operating system files check boxes.
Click OK.
Click and drag to copy all the folders to the new folder, except for the currently logged on users folder.
In Control Panel, double-click System, and then click the User Profiles tab.
Copy the current user’s profile to the new folder.
Click OK, close Control Panel, and then log off and log on to the computer as an adminstrator again.
In Registry Editor, click Find on the Edit menu.
Type documents and settings, andthen click Find.
Replace the value data or rename the value or registry key to the new path for each and every registry key and value that contains the original path.
NOTE: You must complete this change for every instance in the registry or your computer may not start. It is imperative that you update all registry keys and values with the new path.
Restart the computer.
You can now safely remove the original “Documents and Settings” folder.
Please refer to the following issue before you’ll try to perform this steps:

Right-click on “My Documents.” Select properties. Under “Target Folder Location” either type in a new location (e.g. d:\my documents) or click on “move” and select a location.
