Ok thanks Hugh. I must add something I have not carfully explain.

The main thing I would like is a way to make windows xp understand
that the "My documents" folder is somewhere else. So when application
that use this folder open, the will used in this folder instead of the
old "My documents" location. Also, sometime some program setup
something in this folder. So it is very difficult to setup all
software in a way they only use the new "My documents" location
instead of the old one. That's the main problem I have.
