How do I remove Personalistion

Hi, We have a Small Peer to Peer network of Computers, running XP. I Want to do away with the Wole 'My Documents' Interface, and store everything under clear hardware locations like: "\\Station2\\C:\Documents\Orders" How do I do this in Win 95/98,Vista/Win7/8. We would like to Install and Use The OS as a Single User (The Administrator), and remain as such! :) :) :) Regards,

Why must you "do away" with "My Documents?" Why don't you simply not store anything there?
The difficult we do right away... ...the impossible takes slightly longer.

I'd use "Map Network Drive" rather than UNC; and set sharing options. :)

As I recall in XP you can right click on 'My documents', go to properties and move where it lives. I'm not sure if that's what you need but that might help you. I don't know if the others have the same method. Why are you running any windows before xp? And why Vista at all? I'm curious, I can imagine a few reasons but they have to do with specialized hardware/software.

I'm curious, I can imagine a few reasons but they have to do with specialized hardware/software.Well, I developed a package to run Laundrettes and Drycleaners. The Latest Upgrade will run on Win98. It runs more reliable on Win XP. However, that's no longer for sale. We offer Win XP Computers for sale, but they are recycled. The day of having those available will run to an end Some Day. In the near future, we will have to start recycling Vista Computers. There are only a few of our customers that have more than One terminal. The main support concern has actually nothing to do with us, but, they are still our customers, and we try to help. Everybody on Every Terminal is signed on as Administrator. (Do not lecture me on how bad an Idea that is, I've written several GigaByte of messages on this forum about why this is required, and Very Safe in the Environment used.) It works all very fine for our own software, but, when a User saves say a Letter from MSWord under My Documents\Letters\Company, it is Everybody's guess where it is being Stored. The bottom line is, we need a Single 'My Documents' Folder, which always points to a Single Folder on One Single Computer. Regards, :)
