Changing My Documents & Shared Documents Defaults
I am configuring a computer that requires that all users data and shared data to be stored to a non-system drive. I know how to move user data once a profile is established, but I'd like to have the profile automatically be set up on the drive so I don't have to do it after. What folders in the Registry do I make the changes to and what syntax?

I tried this and received an error that Windows could not create a temporary profile. Is there a list of all the paths I need to update in the Registry to accomplish this? This computer is being sent out to another location and I need to have the default profile automtically configured to the partioned drive. I will not have control of this computer once it's set and I want to make sure all profiles automatically go to the partitioned drive. I can't have any user performing edits in the Registry either.
I have not tried this myself but try changing them in the registry at this location:
HKEY_USERS\.Default\Softwa
I hope it works,
Good Luck.
