Move 'Public' folder to another disk

    Move 'Public' folder to another disk

    I want to move the Public folder "C:/Users/Public" to another disk
    (F:/Users/Public).
    This seems a bit more difficult than moving the regular users folders.

    Does anyone know how to do this ?

    I haven't tried this. I confirmed the key exists on my computer but I have
    no idea if this works or if it may cause problems.

    Thanks Kelly, that link worked for me too! Should be a simpler way than a
    registry hack.
