Just thinking about this. Might not be easy, but XP has the ability to
mount a partition as an empty folder, instead of as a drive letter. So ,
if you have only 1 user on an XP box (besides admin), you could log in
as administrator, move the contents of the user's 'Docs& Set' folder out
of the way, mount the partition to the c:\Doucments & Settings\username
folder. Move the files back, and you should be all set.
Of course, there's probably an easier way too. A quick registry hack,
or hidden setting somewhere...
Oh crap. Sorry for the rambling like a madman...
