My Documents Location

Is there any way to change the default location of the "My Documents" folder? Ex: From C: to F: drive.

Right click My docs and select properties. You can change the target folder there.

When you change the target folder, make sure you tell it to move all of your files. Make sure any files stored in my docs are closed, or they won't be able to be moved to the new location.

A nice feature of this is that if you have more than one computer, you can map a network drive to the My Documents folder on the other computer, and have everything in My Documents on one computer, but show up as local to all users.
