Recorded TV doesn't seem to be in the same "class" as other Public
Folders -- there's no entry for it under:

"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\explorer\User
Shell Folders"

and it can be moved with no problem.

I think you can move the folder, and then change registry references in the
following locations:

"HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Media
Center\Service\Recording"

LastRecordPathSet
RecordPath

"HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Media
Center\Service\Video\Tuners\DVR\IO\Writer"

DVRDirectory

As for the public, 'Favorites', I've never seen anything saved there, nor
can I find anywhere that its contents are displayed.
