Sorry, didn't see the bit about SHARED docs - I don't think you can, unless

tweakui will do it....

The procedure moved the All Users \ My Documents folder from drive C to D

however it did not move the all Usres \ Shared Documents foldees.

Re: How doI change the location of Shared Documents Folder

 

Open Registry Editor (regedit.exe) and navigate to:

 

HKEY LOCAL MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders

 

In the right-pane, look for the entry "Common Documents" and double-click it. The data which present there by default is

"%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Documents". Change the value data accordingly (For example, "D:\SharedDocs")

 

To redirect the Shared Music, Shared Pictures and Shared Video folder along with Shared Documents, try this:

 

HKEY LOCAL MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders

 

In the right-pane:

- Create a REG_SZ named "CommonMusic" and set its path

- Create a REG_SZ named "CommonPictures" and set its path

- Create a REG_SZ named "CommonVideo" and set its path

 

None of these value names (CommonVideo, CommonMusic, CommonVideo) have a space in between.

 

Logoff and login back. See if the Shared folders are redirected successfully.
