Mapping AppData Folders to Different Drive ???
Hi,
I am endeavoring to re-map everything not specific to the O/S to a different drive; the O/S (and hopefully only the O/S and programs) is on one HDD and all data storage is on another HDD.
I have been following these instructions:
Move your libraries to a second drive or partition | PCWorld
I have ran into some difficulties in re-associating the AppData folders.
Thus far, I have only been working on a single user account; I will tackle the second user when I get the first one figured out.
To begin with, the center folder of the three, LocalLow some-such-or-other, does NOT have a location tab in Properties; how do I address relocating that?
Also, the top folder of the three had a ton of stuff and it would not allow the files to be relocated; I discovered most of the problem was in the "temp" folder.
There was a bunch of stuff that it will not let me move and will not allow me to delete it, saying I need Administrator permission --- I thought I was the Administrator.
Now, when I type %AppData% in the search box, it immediately takes me to my new folders on the other HDD; yet, there is still that one folder that did not have a location tab and the other pile of stuff that did not make the change.
I have searched, yet all the answers I find do not address my dilemma; how do I straighten out this mess ?
>>> On EDIT: In perusing several tutorials here, I see that remapping certain folders will then cause the target drive to be included in a system image --- which is NOT what I want; will me relocating the AppData folder cause this undesirable result ?
If so, then I will be swapping horses in the middle of the creek and undoing this mess.
Thanks for reading.
