How do you share [My] Documents folder with dual-boot?
When I had just XP Pro SP2 on my pc I easily moved the location of my user's account to another folder on a different physical hard drive from the OS. Now I have Vista x86 installed in a dual-boot setup with an Administrator account and a Standard User account. So Vista now has 2 Documents folders on a different partition than either XP's or the physical drive with XP's Administrator's My Documents folder.

I wanted all 3 user's to share the same [My] Documents folder as the XP user's account.

When I went to move the first Vista folder location over it tried to copy a duplicate hidden file called Desktop.ini so I canceled the process not wanting to screw anything up. How can I accomplish my goal? If I cannot what does everybody do to keep all their shared data in one place? Do they just ignore the handiness of their OS'es natural [My] Documents folder setup?
