Windows 7 User Folder Too Big - 27 Gb

Hi -

I've followed the instructions here - Move the Users Directory in Windows 7

My SSD is only about 70Gb, so I want to move the 27-ish Gb User folder (primarily my main User account I use - the admin / guest accounts use next to nothing.

But get a nasty error when re-booting (something like folder C:\....Users is unavailable, my Desktop is gone, Outlook doesn't seem to remember it's installed, neither does OfficeTime. Firefox doesn't look anything like I've configured it either - no remembered passwords, toolbar completely different.

Is there a quick way I can move the 27Gb User account from my C:\ SSD drive?

I'm generally very impressed with Windows 7, but it seems to be something that Microsoft have overlooked - the popularity of SSD's, and their limitation in terms of size...

I'll be looking at this after trying a System Restore - User Profile - Change Default Location - but if anyone has any better ideas, please do shout me.

I managed to fix the issue by undoing the 'move user folder' instructions that I originally followed here - Move the Users Directory in Windows 7

Then by following Method 1 instructions on this post - You receive a "The User Profile Service failed the logon

I'm wondering if moving the user folder as per the instructions I followed initially (Move the Users Directory in Windows 7) - then following Method 1 on You receive a "The User Profile Service failed the logon - if that would actually work.

Would free up a lot of room on my C drive for sure.

If I try it, and if it works, I'll post back.
