Use TweakUI, one of the MS powertoys, to redirect folders such as My
Documents, My Music, etc. want to another location. You can choose which
ones. You cannot redirect the complete Documents and Settings folder to
another location, nor even most of the folders under Documents and Settings
That can only be set up during installation using a special process.
