Vista - How to Mount Physical Disk to Users Folder

permalink · 04-07-2008

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.

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

Start > cmd > mklink /?
