well me have dual boot and xp is my os ... so i want to change the documents in vista to point to the 1 in xp .... i went throught the registry and was able to do it for my music and pictures .... but for tht i had to change the value from %userprofiles% to whatever which means tht it will be the same for all users but the documents i want to be user specific ... now changing location from properties says it will copy this to new location and i will have 2 entries for documents .... ne help


edit: ok i guess i got it ... the move locaton thing does the trick ...
