How can I redirect the entire user profile when creating a new user with WIHU?

For now I redirect only specific shell folders. This is how I do it:

[environment]

Personal = D:\Users\%ThisUser%\My Documents

My Music = D:\Users\%ThisUser%\My Documents\My Music

My Pictures = D:\Users\%ThisUser%\My Documents\My Pictures

My Video = D:\Users\%ThisUser%\My Documents\My Video

is it not recommended to move the entire profile?

I want to do so I can restore a windows partition image without overwriting the users documents & setting.

Your example code would set default shell folders to specified location, i.e. each new created user account will use this as default settings instead windows default.

If this is your intention, you've to create at least one account to use this settings.

Of course you could set only some of the shell folders to new locations. Prefered locations are the Windows Desktop, Personal folder and may be also application data folders.

You are right, that's the way to do it.

What about changing the default location for the entire profile. is that possible?

I want to set one variable, and all the user shell folders would be under that path

Of course this is possible.

[users]
Profile = c:\Profiles\%Thisuser%

... should work.

Update: It seems that I removed this feature some day ... don't know what my reason was. If you want I could add this again.

Update 2: Just try version x.7, I added it again.
