[K12OSN] OT: easy way to move "documents and settings" folder?

[Huck]

right-click 'start', click 'explore', click on 'Desktop' in the left 
window pane, right-click 'My Documents', click 'properties', the Target 
tab should be showing...the 1 field there shows the target path of the 
My Documents folder...with the 'move...' button directly below that 
field you can edit the field and move the location.
