All in
all, the use of these folders is pretty self-explanatory.
See ???Back Up the Registry,??? in Chapter 3, for more information
on the NTUSER.DAT file found in each user folder.
You can change the default locations for any user??™s special folders, but the
process is different for different folder types:
Home folder
To change the location of any user??™s home folder, open the Local Users
and Groups window (lusrmgr.msc, described at the beginning of this
chapter). Open the Users category, double-click a user, and choose the
Profile tab.
Documents, Send To, etc.
To change the location of any system folder in a user??™s home folder,
such as the Documents folder or the Send To folder, you must be logged
in as that user. Start TweakUI, open the My Computer category branch,
select Special Folders, and choose the folder to relocate from the Folder
list. Note that this only changes the place that Windows looks for the
associated files; you??™ll have to create the folder and place the appropriate
files in it yourself.
For folders not listed in TweakUI, you??™ll need to edit the Registry. Most
user folders are specified in these two Registry keys:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\
Explorer\Shell Folders
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\
Explorer\User Shell Folders
One of the exceptions is the Application Data folder, which is defined by
the DefaultDir value in:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\
ProfileReconciliation\AppData
You??™ll need to log out and then log back in for any of these changes to
take effect.
