There is TweakUI for 9x OS's which allows you you move/rename the folder and
will sort out the registry accordingly. I have used it in the past to do the
same thing with the My Documents folder.
Is there something similar for Win2000 ? I dont know, but Im sure that there
is a lot of OS tweaking software out there somewhere.
