Change location of user folders?

I usually try to separate data from system files and programs, to counter defragmentation and for better backup possibilities. So I would like to change the location of the user folders (by default: c:\users) so that user data is stored on my data partition instead (d:\users). So far I was able to manually move most of the "My XYZ" folders ("My Documents", etc.) by clicking "properties" and then "Path". However, it is not possible for all of it, and I also would like to move all those roaming/appdata folders, so that user-specific configurations are moved as well.

Is that possible?

Hello Jaochoo,

Yes, this is possible, but it's best to have done this with a clean install before installing any programs.

User Profile - Change Default Location

User Profiles - Create and Move During Windows 7 Installation

Hope this helps,

You're welcome Jaochoo.

I find that after you have a clean install done with everything you want set and installed is finished, creating a system image is a easy way to do that. That way, all you would have to do is do a system image recovery back to exactly how your computer was when a image was created.
