i think this would be a great seggestion for any one who has used the Tweak
UI tool to move the "special folders" around in XP. i even move around the my
music, my pictures, and my videos folders around as well. i even move the
favorites folder around as well. i have even moved the others around as well.

so, here is my idea. to make it easier for use advanced users who like to
move the "special folders" around to where we want them to be, microsoft
should just make an option to do it durring the installation of windows
vista. the setup page that lets you choose where you want those folders to be
located, should looks similar to the tweak UI tool interface or at least in
how it works. there should also be an option so that you can change the Icon
for each special folder as well. does anyone like my idea?

It's easy to move them now. Just right click on the folder | Properties |
Location.

I've always used an answer file during setup (winnt.sif) to specify where I
want them and what they should be named. For example instead of the
ridiculously long "Documents and Settings" name I had setup name it
Profiles. Of course there are many other things you can do with the answer
file, even tell it not to install unwanted programs. I really hope this will
still be supported in Vista, although I'm much happier with the layout they
have chosen for it.
