I do not poke around in the registry without doublechecked instructions. I used to reinstall my OS just for fun, but I'm old and cranky now.
It's because you didn't have a strong father figure isn't it?

Here we go, Jon (XP). I'll try it this weekend.
I never expanded my system partition to cover the other empty partition on the drive -- I just didn't feel up to the risk. This, especially since it moves the Eudora mailboxes, should be just the thing I need.

Is there a stable way to move one's My Documents
On XP, if you right-click the My Documents icon on the desktop, select Properties, you can specify the folder location there.

Get the fuck out of town!
XP is good for something...
Thank you!
eta: although that doesn't move the whole Documents and Settings structure, leaving the Application Data on the C drive. But it's giving me ideas...

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
The XP version seems pretty stable. For that matter, the only thing I ever found that broke the 98 version was a Microsoft security update.

All is well that ends in pizza.
Gee Microsoft breaking something for their security, not yours. how unusual.

Well, the thing that it broke was the tweak that lets you use autologon, so it theoretically improved my security, too.
