Thanks a lot.

(you will have to load the hive of the user and modify it then unload it as the current reg entry will be for the current user). Could you explain further for this? Thanks...

Many thanks...i need time to understand, they seem quite hard to me.

Thanks, I think I've understood what you mean. I see in registry the value for this name is "%USERPROFILE%\Application Data", now if I change it to "D:\My Documents\Application Data", then all things in the original application data folder will automatically move to the new one in "D:\My Documents", including quick launch? And if I install the program free launch bar, will this program be automatically redirected to the new folder? And will this relocation cause bad result? Will uninstallation of program remove info. in the new folder that's due? What you mention here is only for current user, what about all users? I see in "C:\Documents and Settings" there are three folders, they are "administrator", "all users" and "default user". Thanks again, a few more questions in here. :-)

As you experts know that XP quick launch's default path is " C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator(or username)\Application Data\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch", all the shortcuts in quick launch bar are put in this folder. Now a problem is coming up when you recover the system, you will find that the quick launch bar goes back earlier, you lose new shortcuts after you backup the system. I think it is good If we can change the location to non-system drive for example D, via registry. The similar cases are "my documents", "my favorite“，"cookies", "IE temporary folder", "history", "desktop" and some other items that I can not think of. Could anyone help? Thanks!
