Hi, I would like to know if someone know how to change the destination of the special folder in windows (i.e. my document, my music, documents and settings, favorites, etc...).

Well, I want these information for unattended installation.

thanks

*edit

Btw, I notice a "My Video" registry key that is a folder in xp home, what happen to it in pro?

i think "my videos" isn't setup by default but it will work if you add it

search for "user shell folders" in your registry.

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders

here's how mine is setup, sans the videos one. these are keys/values inside of that ^

AppData = %USERPROFILE%\Application Data
Desktop = %USERPROFILE%\Desktop
Favorites = D:\My Documents\Favorites
NetHood = %USERPROFILE%\NetHood
Personal = D:\My Documents
PrintHood = %USERPROFILE%\PrintHood
Programs = %USERPROFILE%\Start Menu\Programs
SendTo = D:\My Documents\Configs\SendTo
Start Menu = %USERPROFILE%\Start Menu
Startup = %USERPROFILE%\Start Menu\Programs\Startup
Templates = %USERPROFILE%\Templates
Local Settings = %USERPROFILE%\Local Settings
Local AppData = %USERPROFILE%\Local Settings\Application Data
Administrative Tools = %USERPROFILE%\Start Menu\Programs\Administrative Tools
Recent = %USERPROFILE%\Recent
Cache = %USERPROFILE%\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files
Cookies = %USERPROFILE%\Cookies
History = %USERPROFILE%\Local Settings\History
My Music = D:\My Documents\Music
