has anyone done an unattended installation of xp pro?

if so, i have a question.

with win2000, you can change the default location of the 'Documents and Settings' folder during an unattended installation by adding 'ProfilesDir = z:/foldername' under the header '[GuiUNattended]' in the Unattend.txt file. However, if i try to do the same with xp pro, setup quits cuz it doesn't like that line. i'm figuring this is just a question of syntax rather than capability... does anyone know the proper way of entering this change into Unattended.txt for xp pro? thanks.

thanks sak, but i already know all that info. what i need is the proper sytax for that line. here it is again for win2k:

[GuiUnattended]
ProfilesDir=D:\Documents and Settings

but that doesnt work for xp pro. so either you cant use it at all or its just written differently. if anyone has done this or knows how to do this i would appreciate it. thanks.
