I recently upgraded from Windows ME to Windows XP Home. The system Shared
Documents folder was setup on my C: drive as follows: C:\Program
Files\Windows\All Users\Shared Documents. There is also a Shared Documents
folder setup under the Documents and Settings directory under All Users, but
this one is not mapped to be the Shared Documents folder by the system. For
example when I drag a file to the shared documents folder/icon it stores it
under the C:\Program Files\Windows\All Users\Shared Documents folder. How
can I "re-map" or "re-direct" the system to use the shared documents folder
under the Documents and Settings folder versus the one in the Program Files
folder and delete the folder in the Program Files folder? I have tried to
delete or rename the one in the Program Files folder but it won't let me - it
says this is a file used by the system and it can not be changed.
