First question: how do I move the location of the my documents folder? Also, I've heard people talking about exporting the registry to locate changes, how can you compare the two (without manually sifting through the entire thing)?

edit: found the answer to my runonceex question

Thanks for the help, almost ready to give these suckers a go!

Answer to your 1st question has been covered numerous times... there are a couple ways you can do this, including using winnt.sif or a reg tweak..

regsnap pro is what i use to detect changes in the registry.

u can use it to compare before or after.

HKCU,"%SMWCvEUSF%",Personal,0,"%PERSONAL%"
HKCU,"%SMWCvEUSF%","My Pictures",0,"%PICTURES%"
HKCU,"%SMWCvEUSF%",Favorites,0,"%FAVORITES%"
HKCU,"%SMWCvEUSF%","My Music",0,"%MUSIC%"

SMWCvEUSF = "Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders"
PERSONAL = "F:\My Documents"
PICTURES = "F:\My Documents\My Pictures"
FAVORITES = "F:\Favorites"

Place redirect.inf in the same folder as cmdlines.txt
