    Moving Documents folder from one drive to another

    Is is possible to move the Documents and Settings to a seperate HDD

    Hey all, i have my computer up and running again. I was wondering if there was a way to move the Documents and Settings Folder off of the C: drive and to a separate Hard Drive. I know you can move the My Documents folder over but i don't know if its possible to move the whole documents and settings folder?

    Any Help Would be appreciated
