Mekrel Posted February 7, 2005 Share Posted February 7, 2005 I know in winnt.sif you can putProfileDir="Path" or something like that, so you get documents and settings on say F:\drive.but this means that the desktop is also stored on F and will have to format F each time i go to format the system. I know you can move the my documents folder in windows by going to start and right clicking the my documents icon and going into properties.so is there a way to do this unattended. So I can just move the my documents folder. this would be a great help Many thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
