_Claymore Posted July 3, 2005 Share Posted July 3, 2005 I'm having some trouble in defining the Variables for my pourpose, which is, instead of using the "C:\Documents and Settings\" folder by default, to change and use the "F:\Users\" Folder.I was able to change the USERPROFILE and some others, but it seems that the HOMEDRIVE and HOMEPATH, aren't changing, even after the reboot...Is it possible to change? If yes, how ?I really need this stuff, i'm trying to optimise my system for my own purposes.Any help you be really apreciated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin Zugec Posted July 4, 2005 Share Posted July 4, 2005 You must use GPOs function Redirect Folders... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

systeman Posted July 4, 2005 Share Posted July 4, 2005 okie, I see your problem. You could redirect it manually with change related registry key.Firstly create a temp folder and redirect the profile folder to that, then reboot, after pre-customizaiton of new profile in this new profile folder, go back to registry and redirect it to real destination, which need to paste all prior profile files into.(doesn't include ones in temp folder.)sorry that i can not access my related doc to find out detailed registry key and steps as I am disconnected with corporate network. I hope can paste it out by following a couple days... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chilifrei64 Posted July 4, 2005 Share Posted July 4, 2005 http://www.totalidea.com/tweakxpdown.phpThis lets you do loads of other things.... but it will change your shell folder locations for you.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_Claymore Posted July 4, 2005 Author Share Posted July 4, 2005 Gouki, i already tried that, and it didn't work. (tambem sou PT )Some of the environment variables don't change what ever i do... HOMEDRIVE is one of them, HOMEPATH doesn't change alsoPROGRAMFILES can be changed but it doesn't work, (When i install a program, it will still be redirected to C:\Program Files\ instead of going to the path that i have defined.
