Please forgive me if this is a stupid noob question. I'm trying to change the default location of the Docs & Settings folder. I've intensely studied this killa site and successfully created my own slipstreamed xpsp2 w/ latest security hotfixes and auto install of basic programs (like java, adobe reader, etc).  However changing the default location of the Documents & Settings folder has got me stumped.    Hours of searching turned up a reg mod to: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList] "Profiles Directory" By default the dword is: "%SystemDrive%\Documents and Settings" further reg surfing showed many keys that point to that folder location so I thought there's no way just changing that ProfileList key would work. Sure enough, it didn't.  I can't begin to tell you the strange things that happened as a result.  Thank goodness I backed-up the reg b4 modding.     So now I'm back to square1 w/ no further ideas. Has anyone successfully done this during install or post install of XP?  I would think the earlier in the install process the better for this kinda mod.  Does this .reg mod file belong in cmdline? Thanks in advance for your expertise!
