I did not say that the ProfilesDir does not work, I've said that it's not doing what I want. ProfilesDir might overwrite the existing things I already have. I want to reuse the "Documents and settings" if I have to reinstall my system... this way I only reinstall the system drive and I keep my parameters, bookmarks, email, desktop icons, My Docs... and so on. Maybe there are some other ways to do it ?
