On the Tools menu, click Folder Options, and then click the View tab.

Under Advanced settings click Show hidden files and folders, and then 
click to clear the Hide file extensions for known file types and Hide 
protected operating system files check boxes.

Click OK.

Click and drag to copy all the folders to the new folder, except for 
the currently logged on users folder.

In Control Panel, double-click System, and then click the User 
Profiles tab.

Copy the current user's profile to the new folder.

Click OK, close Control Panel, and then log off and log on to the 
computer as an administrator again.

In Registry Editor, click Find on the Edit menu.

Type documents and settings, and then click Find.

Replace the value data or rename the value or registry key to the new 
path for each and every registry key and value that contains the 
original path.NOTE: You must complete this change for every instance 
in the registry or your computer may not start. 

It is imperative that you update all registry keys and values with the 
new path.

Restart the computer.
