RE: quoting windows pathnames


1) Navigate to a place where 'My Documents' is visible.  Maybe it's on
your desktop, or Start Menu, or in the common tasks pane if you open 'My
Computer'.

2) Right-click the 'My Documents' item and select Properties.

3) Do the obvious on the 'Target' tab.

OK.  You have me curious.  Please tell.  Especially how to change  the
name of the "Documents and Settings" directory.  Even better if you can
tell me how to put that on another drive than C: without reinstalling.
(I hate having to use partition magic
regularly...)
