Hello, I don't know why but when I install something that points to All Users, a public folder is created at root D:\. I edited my Win7 Image to make it unattended and automate a few things inside, but I didn't do anything strange. Anyways reinstall Win7 is not an option, I would like to know how to change default All Users path. Moving the folder with the "Location" tab doesn't change the behavior.
Sounds very strange if only the Public folder is relocated. You can relocate the whole Users folder with <FolderLocations> tags in settings pass OobeSystem in answer file, for instance this would put the main user profile folder in D: with a new default location D:\Users:
But the thing is, this would move the whole Users folder, not only the Public folder under it. These tags cannot be used to move a single folder under Users, all or nothing policy applies here.Code:<FolderLocations> <ProfilesDirectory>D:\Users</ProfilesDirectory> </FolderLocations>
Do you still have the answer file you used? If so, please zip it and upload here, I will check it to see what's done and if it's easily reverted.

That's actually what I did, I set my user profile on D:\Profiles, and my admin profile is there inside Users, but when it comes to All Users (some programs want to put something there) it goes to root D: (Public Images, Public Documents, etc). I don't know why. Maybe it might be hard coded somewhere in registry, I hope.
Here is my answer file.
