How can I move shared music/pictures to another drive?
 

How can I move shared music/pictures to another drive? I'm using Windows XP
Media Center Edition. Please don't respond unless you have actually
sucessfully moved Shared documents and Shared Music/Pictures/Video. Let's
see if we can finally get a correct answer to this question, since many
customers are asking it without a correct response.

Don't refer me to "http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_shell_folders.htm". It
does not work.

Don't tell me about TweakUI. It does not work.

I already know how to right click on "My Documents", properties to move it.

These are the only instructions I have found which partially work:
"http://www.tweakxp.com/display.aspx?id=597"

with the exception of the part about renaming the shared documents folder.
But it only moves the top level Shared Documents and not Shared Music,
Shared Video, Shared Pictures

I don't understand why people insist that the other registry edits or
TweakUI work?

It is very frustrating !!!!

I bet many people didn't know that it is possible to move the entire
Documents and Settings folder (Q236621). Changing ProfilesList chages the
location for any new user. I have done this, but it is not what I am after.
Since all the settings are in Documents and Settings you can't log-in if
that drive is missing (I seem to recall). I wan't to keep the settings on
C:. But move the shared documents to another drive.

Sorry for being harsh and thanks !!!

I want it
to reside on a different drive to the rest of my documents.

Open a window to show it. Open another on the drive where you want it,
and *right* drag it across, taking *move* here on releasing the mouse
button. That will transfer the files and update the record in registry
that describes where it is
