Re-install XP Pro with Docs & Settings on D: drive

[Andrew Holder]

How do I reinstall my Win XP Pro but this time have the entire "documents
and settings" (and all sub folders) on the D: drive. I seem to remember
there are some command line options when installing...

Thanks,
Andrew

One can only move default shell folders after Windows XP is installed.

Andrew,
If you use the "unattend.txt" file option /U, you can specify the
location of "Documents and Settings" and if you like, change the name,
during WinXP setup in the [GuiUnattended] section. Extract the Deployment
Tools from the Deploy.cab and you'll be set.

Example:

[GuiUnattended]
ProfilesDir="d:\Profiles" (I put mine on the d:\ and call it profiles
instead of "Documents and Settings".
