Change Desktop Folder and Documents Folder locations?

Is it possible to change the desktop and documents folder locations to a place outside of the home directory? I don't want to move the home directory, just these two folders.


THanks.

No you can't. If you were able to that would greatly slow down access to those files and bar you from them when you didn't have internet access.
