There's no need to hack the registry to do this. When you install Windows you can specify the name and location of the "Documents and Settings" directory (as well as the Windows directory itself.) You do this with a response file (winnt.sif) by adding a value "ProfilesDir" under the [GuiUnattended] section. When I installed my current copy of XP I set the profile dir to C:\Users and have not had to touch any further settings to have everything work fine.
