Home Folder



Hello,

I am trying to move the 'documents and settings' directory from the 'c'
drive to 'd' drive, and placed in a sub folder in 'd' drive. So I can
provide some protection of data in case of an OS crash, and a necessary
clean reload of the OS.

I've done this by editing the registry, and moving folders from the 'c'
drive to the 'd' drive, but takes quite a few steps.

Now, using 'control userpasswords2' -->click 'username'-->double click
'advanced'-->click 'advanced'-->click 'advanced'
-->double click 'users'-->double click 'name'--->click 'profile', you
finally end up with two entries. One for 'profile path', and the other
entry for 'home' folder'.

Is there a means of using these two entries to move the 'c:\documents and
settings' to another location. And remove the 'c:\documents and settings'
folder from 'c drive'.

Now if this doesn't work, would the list let me know how to use the two
entries??

Thanks,
MikeF
