How can I move the location of user profile directory

I found a way of coding to change the directory of the user profile, but I fear that it would break my system
http://joshmouch.WordPress.com/2007/04/07/change-user-profile-folder-location-in-Vista/
is it ok to use it, or Microsoft addresses this problem? because I want to use the user icon in the start menu of the head for my files instead of move each directory to another location in the folder of the user

Rania saber,

See the following article on the measures needed to redirect a folder in Windows Vista. What follows is a safer alternative to editing your registry keys:

  • How can I move the location of the boomarks back to the left. I tried to 'customize' bookmarks 'disappear' in this mode but I can't click on it to get her back. Why ' "do you think things mobile around makes it better?

    I adapt to the changes of 4 FF. I want to return the location of the bookmarks on the left. I tried the function customize, but bookmarks disappears and I can't click it to drag it where I want.

    The new bookmarks (with the arrow on the drop-marker) button that appears to the right of the bookmarks toolbar when the menu bar is hidden and the Firefox button orange shows are you referring?

    If so, this button appears on the right side of the Navigation bar (on the right of the "home" button) when customize Mode is enabled, and it's not like a 'regular' toolbar button, it is related to the Firefox button orange with the layout of the default toolbar. You can switch mode to customize, but may disappear 'arrow' and 'bookmarks' may appear when moved. There seems to be a small problem with this button and the 'arrow', at least on Windows XP installations.

    There is an another bookmarks button in the Palette of the toolbar, as with earlier versions of Firefox that toggles the Bookmarks Sidebar that looks the same but lacks the arrow drop-marker. Here's how you can tell them apart from the other. I guess that Mozilla has been too cheap to design a new button that is linked with the orange Firefox button.

  • How can I move the location of the file owner?

  • How can I move the location of the cache of Firefox on another disk to free up space on Cdrive?

    You can do this by creating a new hidden preference.

    1. Type of topic: config in the address bar and press on enter
    2. Accept the warning message that appears, you will be taken to a list of preferences
    3. Right click somewhere in the list and select "new > String.
    4. For the name of the preference, type browser.cache.disk.parent_directory
    5. For value, type the path to which you want to store the cache
    6. Then find browser.cache.disk.enablepreference, it must be true, if it is not, double-click on it to edit its value

  • How can I move the Virtual Mode of Windows XP hard drive to another drive

    How can I move the Virtual Mode of Windows XP hard drive to another drive?

    TIA

    Hi Benyl,

    The vhd in programfiles basis cannot be moved or renamed, if done, xp mode stops at the start.

    To move the files under c, first to boot xp, instead of save mode the machine virtual., turn it off. (settings to prompt the user for action narrow close). Close the machine virtual., and then choose stop. This will remove the vsv file. Do not delete the .vsv file because it contains data if you have not registered in the virtual machine.

    Now, move it "C:\Users\CHRIS.domainname\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows virtual PC\Virtual Machines\Windows XP Mode.vhd" to a desired location.

    Parameters of xp mode open, go to the hard drive 1 setting and reposition the hard drive to the new location of the vhd. You should now be able to start the virtual machine.

    Thank you, and in what concerns:

  • How can I move the outlook express emails from an XP PC to an another XP PC that has the same e-mail address without overwriting existing messages on this second PC?

    How can I move the outlook express emails from an XP PC to an another XP PC that has the same e-mail address without overwriting existing messages on this second PC?

    I need to group together all messages from e-mail in a PC and to retire the first PC.

    This could be problematic. I guess or OE is over? This would make it easy.
     
    One thing you could do requires some manual work, but much less removal of dupes. For example, the Inbox. In the machine, you are going to scrap, create a new folder and move all messages in your Inbox to it. After you import on the other machine, you can drag the messages you need this folder in the Inbox, and then remove the user created the folder.
     
    And then there are tools to remove the dupes. This one for example.
     

     
     
  • How can I move the hair of a person from one photo to another and place it on another person?

    How can I move the hair of a person from one photo to another and place it on another person? I went through each instructional video you have and have not been able to master this. I tried the smart brush without result, and frankly, I don't think that your product is very intuitive. I work with the software as a professional and I would like to speak directly to someone who could guide me through this process, as I do for one of my clients of having problems with the software that I represent. Thanks, my email is [email removed by host address]

    First of all , we do not communicate with posters by private email.

    The purpose of the forum is for everyone to benefit from the questions and answers, not only the original poster.

    Secondly, you do not discuss Adobe here in the user forums.  You ask the help of users of volunteers like you who give their time for free. Nobody has any obligation to answer your questions.

    Thirdly, Adobe does not support tutoring hand-holding, step by step that you are looking for.  They have excellent video tutorials on Adobe TV.

    Photoshop is a professional application, making no apologies for his very long and steep learning curve

    Read this FAQ to get advice on how to ask your questions correctly to get faster and better answers:

    Finally, the titles of topic or subject should be clear, relevant and concise so that individual users can tell at a glance if they can help or not.

    This field is not for trying to adjust your entire question in there.

    Keep this in mind next time you post.  Thank you.

    Thank you!

    EDIT/ADDENDUM: on the other hand, if your ID Adobe is indicative of your true identity, like the beautiful Jay López, in real life, I and others here will be happy to oblige with one-on-one tutoring.

  • How can I move the button reload of the page in firefox OSX for next to the back button where it was before I updated.

    How can I move the button reload of the page in firefox OSX for next to the back button where it was before I updated.
    I know there is an addon for windows Classic theme, but I need a fix for osx... its very frustrating when you update and things like this change and can be customized to the way we are used to using the browser. his counter intuitive to have the page button refresh so far from the back and home buttons.

    never mind, I found the preferences in the addon manager... Thanks again!

  • How can I move the taskbar back to the bottom?

    Help please. How can I move the taskbar to back down on the side?

    Hello

    try to do this:

    To unlock the taskbar

       Right-click an empty space on the taskbar. If Lock the taskbar has a check mark next to it, the taskbar is locked. You can unlock it by clicking Lock the taskbar, which removes the check mark.
    

    To move the taskbar

       Click an empty space on the taskbar, and then hold down the mouse button as you drag the taskbar to one of the four edges of the desktop. When the taskbar is where you want it, release the mouse button.
    

    Note

           To lock the taskbar into place, right-click an empty space on the taskbar, and then click Lock the taskbar so that the check mark appears. Locking the taskbar helps prevent it being moved or resized accidentally.

    How can I move the screen picture to the right, about half a ince to fill the scree properly and allow a full view of the icons?

    The problem is with the settings of your monitor. One of the buttons on the front of your monitor will take you in the settings of your monitor. Select the option which moves the video horizontally, use the arrow keys to move the right way and press the settings button to exit. Should be pretty simple.

    How can I move the vi FrontPanel view programmatically?

    I guess that there are several parameters of similar sounding to change external 'size' and 'position' of the window of the façade.  But I can't seem to find one for its internal position - that is, the position within the façade that you change when you use the scroll bars on the side of her.  Where is it?

    How about properties VI, façade-> components []-> origin?

    Windows Vista - How can I move the buttons in the taskbar to the left side of the taskbar? Someone has used my computer and now they are on the right side you can see 2 programs at once. I want that they start on the left and run through the whole (not just two value windows) task bar so I can see all and switch between them by clicking on them.

    Right-click on the taskbar and unlock it. There will be low vertical bars between the sections of the taskbar. Place the cursor on one and drag it to the left. You have to play a little, but you will get it.
