Marthax, I know a simple way to move those folders wihout having to mess with those settings..I've successfully moved my "Documents and Settings" folder along with "Program Files" folder which previously located in my system partition to another partition, D: If you use NTFS file system on your hard disk, then you can create NTFS junctions in your system partition that point to the new location of those folders..use this sysinternal's command line tool : Junction to create those junctions..If you have bartpe or WinPE, you can include the tool on the cd. Simply boot from the cd..the whole process isnt really complicated..once you in there, first thing to do is to move the "Documents and Settings" folder located in C: to the new location, say D: When you're done, then create an empty folder named "Documents and Settings" in C: Next we gonna create a junction.. Usage: junction <junction directory> [<junction target>] So in this case, the correct command should be junction "C:\Documents and Settings" "D:\Documents and Settings" that's it..reboot your computer and then you are all done..everytime windows refers to C:\Documents and Settings it will jump to D:\Documents and Settings..When you create a ntfs junction for the folder, there will be 2 possible paths to the folder..in this case, they are C:\Documents and Settings & D:\Documents and Settings which both are valid.. p/s: sorry for my bad english..
