same My docs for all users

I have never done it but my assumption is yes, it can be done but first, a few questions:

Do you have a "standard setup" with;

- C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\My Documents and

- C:\Documents and Settings\User\My Documents?

Do you currently have user folders and files in both locations?

Do you want to continue using one and abandon the other?

If the answer to all questions is YES, if you want to continue using C:\Documents and Setings\Administrator\My Documents and abandon the other:

As a safety precaution if your documents are important and losing them would be a pain, backup to CD/DVD before doing the deed. I don't say it will but anything can go wrong.

Logged in as User, right click the My Documents icon on the desktop > Properties > Target > Move > in the window that pops up, browse to and highlight C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\My Documents > click OK.

When asked if you want to move the existing folders and files into the new location, the answer is NO. The reason for that is that there will be folders with the same names and the ones moved will overwrite the ones already in the desired location. Instead, move (cut-and-paste) the user created folders and files into the desired location manually in Windows Explorer.
