====== Move the user directory to another partition ====== Unlike in Windows XP, you cannot move the whole user directory to another partition, for example D:. Windows 7 makes it more complicated, but not impossible, to do this: - Boot your Windows 7 installation disk into recovery mode, then start a Command Prompt. - Logoff from your user account and login as local admin - Move the users directory to the data partition with robocopy. Make sure the Users directory does not exist on the destination drive before the copy. \\ ''robocopy /e /xj /copyall C:\Users D:\Users'' - ''mklink /j C:\Users\username D:\Users\username'' (choose any path instead of D:\Users\username) - Enter ''dir'' to verify the directory junction has been established, exit the CMD prompt, reboot the machine - If you add files to the profile which where not created under the original user, you need to set ownership of the folder and it's contents to yourself (right-click the folder and click properties, then advanced)
