Quick Question: Moving WindowsXP Shared Documents

[jkersenbr]

How do you change the location of the Shared Documents folder in WindowsXP?

Yes, I've already tried TweakUI, and it doesn't work. Acts like it does, but the setting never changes. And yes, I am running it as an Administrator.

Any ideas?

Are trying to move the folder? Documents? Need more info.

I'm trying to make the special folder location to point from:

C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Documents

to

D:\Shared\Documents



Kind of like you can move the location of My Documents, only I'm trying to do Shared Documents

 

[gistech1978]

just create the d:\shared\documents folder and share it?

have you tried just moving the folder. i've done that with special folders before and windows has figured it out

Yep, I've tried just moving the folder..... Windows says it is a system folder and cannot be moved 😕

Oh I see your like trying to map what would normally be saved there to D:\shared\documents. I would just create the folder on the d:\ drive and share it. Or you create an mmc and try to move it by using the share folders. Maybe try selecting the folder to share and then trying to change its path. Look here maybe this help you as well Right Here
