Hack for Active Synch folder location????? HELP

Anyone know of a way to change the location of the Active Synch "<My Axim> Documents" folder??

I have my OS and apps on an IDE RAID0 array, and would like to synch with a separate storage drive, so that if my PC or Pocket PC crash, I have my data drive info there to AVOID DATA LOSS

There is no problem for me to point a folder to a Virtual Drive, but changing the location of this particular folder eludes me.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

It can be set under File Synchronization Settings.

Much to my chagrin, the answer was staring me in the face:
All I had to do was, duh-stupid me, move the "My Documents" folder, which typically contains the <Pocket PC> My Documents Folder. This was easily accomplished simply by right clicking "My Documents", choosing "Properties" from the context menu, then clicking "Move" in the resulting menu, then pointing to the desired NEW folder location for "My Documents".

Guess I didn't look hard enough for an answer before posting this "pie on my face" question...

Also didn't realize that I could move the <Pocket PC> My Documents folder under synchronization settings either. THANK YOU FOR THAT INFORMATION.

Ok ya all...Peace Out.
