Default Change User's home directory and it's My Documents dir

Is there a way to change user's home directory and its My Documents
directory as follows(for the current users as well as newly created users):

User HomeDir: %HomeDrive%\%HomePath%
My Documents: %HomeDrive%\%HomePath%\MyDocuments.

Thanks

But how do you make it so the location of My Documents is
%HomeDrive%\%HomePath%\MyDocuments for every newly all user(old and newly
created one), except the Administrator.

Thanks
