    Moving user folders; User picture error


    Hi all,

    I am trying to move my users, and all future users folders (i.e. documents, desktop, appdata etc) from my SSD to a regular HD.

    I followed a few tutorials and moved each folder by right clicking it and clicking the "Move" button on the location tab

    After that, I editted the keys here:

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList

    To use the HD. I also copied over the folders "Default", "Public", and "UpdatusUser" to the new location.

    After restarting my computer everything works but my user has no picture. If I try and change the picture no pictures come up to be selected.

    Have I missed a registry key or something? Any help would be appreciated.

    Thanks in advance,
    Max.

    Welcome to Seven Forums MDGM. Did you follow this tutorial:

    Or something else? A Guy

    Hey,

    I did use that guide but found it led to more problems than it solved so I found a technique on LifeHacker and paraphrased it more simply here:

    Thanks for your help.
