	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...
