How to Mount Physical Disk to Users Folder

Hi,

Is there a way to mount a physical disk to the C:\Users folder? It seems
there is no way to relocate all items in that folder to other location so
that that folder can be empty for mounting.

Thank you.

/ Wyman

Should be able to use junctions for this if all else fails.

Start > cmd > mklink /?
