Hi,
I have the exact same problem, but still can't solve it. I installed Vista
RC1 into C:\ partition, but I want to store my personal files on D:\
partition so when I reinstall Windows I wouldn't have to copy all of them.
So I created D:\Doubleface folder and all those Pictures, Music, ... folders
within. Then I changed the location of all those folders from
c:\Users\Doubleface\... to D:\Doubleface\... and merged them. At first,
everything looked allright except that the Doubleface icon on the desktop
still pinpointed to C:\Users\Doubleface.
Later, duplicate folders started popping up in C:\Users\Doubleface. What the
reason for that?! Should I just delete them and thats it or am I doing sth
wrong?
because some of those folders delete, but contacts (with 5 tabs,
the fake one) won't delete. I also see .gtk-bookmarks and ntuser.dat files ,
which is very annoying..
so, is there some clean and easy solution to all this mess?
