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.

Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
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...

Um.
The TweakUI Powertoy allows you to change the location of all sorts of folders: [link]

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.

Fair enough.

TweakUI doesn't let you move the whole thing either, and the instructions given by Microsoft fail on the stoopid copy.
