using a remote "My Documents"
I was wondering how to force XP Pro SP2 to use a remote folder as "My
Documents". I don't need to worry about caching or sync'ing. Just have
it on a remote system.

Thank you

SBM

No problem - just point your "My Documents" at the remote folder....just
be aware that if you DON'T use something like off-line files and the
network connection goes down, files you are working on locally will NOT
be automatically saved on the remote server...

Right-Click "My Documents" folder and select properties. Click Move... and
select your new location.
