Rename 'my Documents'

[durex]

I figured this had already been covered, but I couldnt seem to find it via search... if its already been covered, apologies for the double post and by all means let me know the search terms used for future reference.

Basically, I want to change all instances of 'My Documents' to 'My Files'. I plan to have a 'My Documents folder inside of it, but I want all shortcuts / menu options / 'Save As','Open' dialog boxes to display 'My Files' instead...

This possible?

Thanks!

M$ TweakUI can rename My Documents and change the Common Dialog Boxes.

The reg key for My Document is:

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{450D8FBA-AD25-11D0-98A8-0800361B1103}

Following the analogy of renaming Recycle Bin, modify the localizedString value or add your desired name to Default should work. But I've not done it to My Documents.

The key for Common Dialog Boxes is:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies#comdlg32

It's a bit tedious to explain, just use TweakUI first and look at the registry.

I changed the default value of that key to 'My Files' but didnt notice a change anywhere that mentioned My Documents...

I also couldnt find anything in TweakUI on changing the name of My Docs as well.

Im familar with the places bar, but I also want to make sure everything, including the top 'My Documents' folder in Explorer has this change as well.

Rename the localizedString key (same effect as deleting it) as well as add My Files to the default value and it worked when I just tried it.

In Start menu, it now says My Files.

In Documents and Settings, it did not change but all I needed to do was to rename it there directly.

(I wrongly remembered TweakUI could do that, but instead it can redirect shell folders.)

Excellent, thanks... I thought you meant change localized string OR change default value... not BOTH. Anyway, that works like a charm.

Thanks!
