Redirecting "My Documents" in XP

[Queasy]

Ok, stupid question time....How do I redirect all the My Documents, My Pictures, My Videos, and Shared Documents folders to another drive under WinXP? I installed WinXP on a 4GB partition with the other 36GB for my apps. I then want to put all the Documents and Settings folders on another drive. How do you tell WinXP to point to the other drive?

Thanks

Right-click on the "My Documents" desktop icon, go to "Properties>move..." and browse to the folder that you want to be your new "My Docs" folder, click OK, then it will ask if you want to move all your existing documents into this new folder or leave them where they are. Make your choice, click OK and you're done. Now your desktop "My Documents" icon will point to your new folder.

<sigh> I was looking at everything else but the simplest solutions :/ Oh well, thanks for the help.

I only found this because I'm a "right-clickaholic". I love right-clicking on everything and searching through the context menu to see what's shaking.
