I've got all my OS and programmes on my C: drive and all my data on D:. I've
worked out how to redirect the My Documents icon to point to my D: drive but
can't find a way to redirct Shared Documents. Can it be done?

No, it can not be done. SharedDocuments is a System Folder and therefore it can not be Renamed or Moved to any other location. Hope this help, let us know! -- * Tip of The Day * Extending Taskbar in 2 Rows can be useful, if you want to see Date along with Time.

You'll have to edit registry here: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell Folders\Common Documents and here: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders\Common Documents And also you'll have to reboot for that to take effect.

Have you tried it? Because I search the registry and didn't find any String Value for the same. Ok! Let me know that what could be the default value of those "Common Documents". I think, it should be none because as I already said that SharedDocuments is a System Folder and therefore there will be no default location for this folder and that is why you can not change the location. Let me know you views. -- * Tip of The Day * Extending Taskbar in 2 Rows can be useful, if you want to see Date along with Time.

I think, it should be none because as I already said that The default value for HKLM\...\Shell Folders\Common Documents is C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Documents while for HKLM\...\User Shell Folders\Common Documents it is %ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Documents Note, that common music, videos and pictures all have their own registry settings.
