In fact, i should already stated, "MyDocuments" is not at issue, it was moved out of C: long time ago; Space is an issue, but not the only issue OE mailboxes are about 2GB and growing, I know how to move it out of "documents an settings", and will do that this week. But again, i prefer to move everything once and for all (OE, favorites, ....,....) I think John Dobbin method is great for XP pro, guess it is time to upgrade my laptop :) Anyway, thank you all guys, but i dont want to waist your time anymore on this issue. Back to real work Upgrading from 2.0.6 to 4.1 tonight wish me luck

If you just want to move the my documents folder. Right click the folder choose properties then change the location the click move. This will only move the my documents folder not the entire profile. And this does work on XP Home.
