Guest Ramesh, MS-MVP Posted July 12, 2007 Posted July 12, 2007 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. -- Regards, Ramesh Srinivasan, Microsoft MVP [Windows Shell/User] Windows® Troubleshooting http://www.winhelponline.com "KCav" <KCav@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:490DB1F1-3893-45A9-A792-B80619F7B5F9@microsoft.com...
