• Win7: How can I move user folder to another drive

  (with all its tentacles of registry supported)

  Related to this issue but a little different (using Win7 RC)
  I would like to move the folders from the user for all members of the family to E:\
  What is the best way?
  When I cut and paste, I am warned a bunch of system folders. In addition, I don't see the LOCATION tab when I click on properties.

  When you create a clean installation, using the combination of a system SSD drive and a conventional disc, such as a data reader, there is a way to 'move' the users folder (normally, C:\Users) and the hidden ProgramData folder (normally C:\ProgramData) for the conventional disc, or the data reader, using an answer file, or an unattend.xml file for an unattended Setup, as mentioned above.

  For a person making a unique, one-time Setup, trying to figure out how to create an answer for fully automatic, just installation file to accomplish this small one, is average, far too much trouble.  It is also not necessary.

  It is possible, during an installation of conventional and interactive disc installation or USB thumbdrive, to enter what we call, 'Mode of Audit', until the computer is called or a created user name and perform the necessary reallocation.

  (1.) a conventional facility.  If you are using an SSD, at the point the installation process where you are asked where you want to install Windows, you must use disk Options to delete all partitions on the SSD drive, before you select the SSD drive as a target.  Do not manually partition or format the drive before installation.  Windows 7 will do and must do, because Windows needs to align the logical format with the characteristics of the physical drive, and, also, Windows wants a small system partition for its own purposes.

  2.) when installation stops, waiting for you to give a user name and a computer name, the computer are not!  Press Ctrl + Shift + F3, and the computer will restart in... (wait for it!) "Audit mode '!  Basically, Windows create a disposable administrator account and log in, as this disposable administrator.  Hurt you, with regard to this temporary user survive complete the installation, but the computer works normally, and you can install the drivers and software.  Every time that the computer starts in Audit mode (you are allowed to restart), a version of Sysprep.exe GUI will pop up, offering to restart the computer in OOBE (out of box experience).  OOBE is where you were a moment before - that is to say, where you create a username and computer name and installation is complete.  Do not restart in OOBE, until you are ready to complete the installation.

  3.) he should know what drive letter (or the location of the folder) will be assigned to your disk Datadrive.  So, it's time, in audit mode, to understand this.  If you need to partition or format the datadrive, do so now.  On the Start Menu, right click on "Computer" and select Manage from the context menu, go to the computer management console.  In the management console of the computer, storage/disk management, you will find tools to change drive letters, partition, etc.

  4.) you need only a minimal answer file.  It is an xml (text file) file created in Windows System Image Manager application.  You can call what you want.  I would say: folders.xml.  Here are the contents of a folders.xml file, which is re - locate users and ProgramData to D:\

  
  
     
         
             
                  d:\Users
                  d:\ProgramData
             
         
     
     
  

  I'm going to imagine a scenario where you make this file on another computer, and transfer to the computer when the installation is done using a USB key, which, when it is connected to the computer in Audit Mode, is attributed to the extra drive letter:

  You could probably just copy the text above into Notepad and save it as a text file with the .xml extension and be good to go, as long as you wanted to use d:\Users and d:\ProgramData as your Datadrive locations.  (I used this answer file, with success; I do not guarantee that it will work for others.)

  5. to use the folders.xml, located in the root directory of your flash drive, plugged and visible under U:\ form, you must open a command prompt, access c:\windows\system32\sysprep and give this command:

  Sysprep.exe /audit /reboot /unattend:U:\folders.xml

  This will cause the reboot of the computer, but you will end up right back in Audit Mode.  As long as you're still in Audit Mode, re-location of these dossiers is not complete, because the temporary administrator useraccount still has his stuff in C:\Users and there are still a few active databases in C:\ProgramData.

  6.) now, you need to say goodbye in Audit Mode.  Remember that a graphical interface for the use of Sysprep to initialize the OOBE appears whenever you re - boot into Audit Mode.  "So after restart you 5.) you will have your chance to run it.  (If it comes to your personal computer, do check the box "Generalize" in the GUI of Sysprep).

  7.) finishing your Windows installation, create a permanent user name and giving the computer a name, etc.  When you're finally running, go get to C:\  C:\Users should have disappeared.  C:\ProgramData is probably still there, but it is normally hidden, so you won't know, until you go to Folder Options and check Show hidden files and folders.  D:\Users and D:\ProgramData (hidden) must also exist.

  8.), I like the idea of using junctions to intercept any program crazy enough to hardcode to c:\users or c:\programdata you will need to delete or move C:\ProgramData, before creating a junction to C:\ProgramData pointing to D:\ProgramData.  The command line tool, mklink, is useful here.  Open a command prompt, and then type mklink /? to get instructions.  If you want a right click GUI tool, you can check:http://schinagl.priv.at/nt/hardlinkshellext/hardlinkshellext.html

  After you create junctions, I think you could use regedit to edit the ProfileList key to the locations of origin C:\.  Folders.XML will have changed the Folderlist key, so that everything points to D:\ instead of %systemdrive%\ or C:\   I'm not sure what would be the point, but you couldn't.

• 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 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 a file to another AI work/text in Illustrator 4.1? ART EXPORT and IMPORT ART and ART of the PLACE do not work.

  How can I move a file to another AI work/text in Illustrator 4.1?  Using the art of export, import or the art of the place don't give me image.  What transfers is a rectangular box with a big X in it.  Illustration of the song gives me only a distorted picture.

  If it really is version 4, it is 25 years old. I'm surprised you have install much less run. Then copy and paste does not work? These files generated in V4 or newer files? The really only files up to V8 may be opening in V4. After that, the format of file completely changed.

• How can I move a control to another Panel?

  How can I move a control to another Panel. For example, I currently have a textbox control and command which I would like to move to a tab of the Panel buttons 2... Is there a way I can just change the Panel they sit rather than remove the controls I have and then create new controls on the tab?

  Maybe you want to make the trip in IDE, not by the program...

  It is very simple: select the controls that you want to move, Ctrl-x or select 'Cut' in the Edit menu, and then select the destination tab, press Ctrl + V (or select Paste from the Edit menu).

  That's all.

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

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.
