Hi all;

Would it be possible to setup winxp pro so that at least Documents and
settings are on a difference drive/partition.

Perhaps have program files on a different drive/partition too???

You can use TweakUI for WindowsXP to change the location of shell folders,
including the My Documents folder. If you find that's good enough, you find
TweakUI here:

It is also possible to move the entire Documents and Settings folder to a
different location. This article explains how

Note that the article was written for Win2K, but the procedure works on XP
as well. Make sure to backup your system before making any changes.

RtClick on My Documents, select Properties. Tab "Target" - type the new
location (D:\), click Move. All Done!

No Tweak needed!
