Is there a method to link my entire C:/users folder to another drive with out the need to reinstall anything and have things work perfectly as the way they were? What I want is all the read and writes to be done on another drive.

Just to verify the above method moves all the user files including those that are in /appdata and would not need any registry editing nor any reinstallation ?

EDIT:

From what I understand this is just for music and my documents, which has a selection for target location, What Im looking for is the entire C:/users to be moved,accessed and written on another drive which includes /appdata
