Setting the default user directory in windows xp home

Windows XP home

Service pack 3

Shrunk and created a separate partition for users directories (D:\export\home). Have read a lot about this matter (most point to changing a single user's document directory and/or giving commands/info that do not work properly in windows xp home). I would like to set the system up so that all current and future users created use d:\export\home for all user related data.

Can someone point me to the proper registry setting to change or another workaround procedure? (Profilelist in the registry looks like what needs to be changed but Im getting limited success). Thanks in advance.

and/or

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders ?

-> change the %USERPROFILE% environment variable.
