I’m installing Windows 2000 on a friends computer and I would like to know change the default options in regards to saving stuff in case I have to reinstall the OP again:  
I would like to know how to change the default saving options from _C:\My Documents_ to _D:\My Documents_.  
Also, how (if it is possible) can one change the default option to have _C:\Documents and Settings\Desktop_ to _D:\Documents and Settings\all users\Desktop_?

Thanks in advance.
