| | Move the "home" folder location I'd like to set up an account with a profile which has a home folder on a different partition -- not in c:\users. I've tried changing the Home folder "local path" location in Computer Management > Local Users and Groups > Users > (accountname) > Properties > Profile. So this does create a set of folders (Documents, Music, Pictures, etc.) in the specified location. However, When you access "(accountname)", "Documents", "Music", "Pictures", etc. from the start menu, you are accessing folders in c:\users\accountname. After all these years, is there any way to create or move user profile Home folders to a location other than the default? TIA. -Jeremy |
