After installing Office 2000 on Windows 2000 Server, I was surprised that I couldn't change the default document location in any Office application from My Documents. Although I couldn't change the default document location, I can change the location of the My Documents folder:

  • Right-click on My Documents, select Properties and click the Move button.

Works on Windows 2000 Professional and Server.
