• 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.

  I have a HP Pavilion Elite HPE with Win7 Pro as my OS and a single 1 TB HD.  Is it possible to move my C and D partitions to a smaller drive?  If so, how do I.  (I realize I have to buy another drive... (LOL).

  Hello cindy906, you should be able to add a smaller hard drive to your system and use the restore disks HP recovery that you should already have, while leaving the current hard drive installed.

  There is a question that you would need to know. If you leave the current hard drive cables connected and use the Recovey HP restore to reimage the new hard drive, when you start the installation of the Windows operating system, the installation program (System partition) can be changed on the current hard drive. If you install Windows7 SP1, the Boot Manager will be changed and make the current version no longer starts.

  Windows 7 creates a configuration (System) partition when it installs hidden. When there is already a system on a system partition, Windows 7 will be find and replace it with the new OS when you update to Windows 7 SP1.

  Once the new disk has been reimagee with the game to restore HP Recovery disks, and the operating system has been installed, you can then reconnect the cables on the current hard drive and use it as a backup drive or delete it if you prefer.

  You would not be able to move the current hard disk to another system, for legal reasons and problems of compatibility with the already installed drivers for the HP computer, unless you formatted the hard drive and deleted the C: and D: partitions and the hidden partition of 100 MB.

  If all three partitions are formatted, the reader could be wiped clean and could be used on another system.

• 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).

• 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.

  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 the folders Inbox, drafts, sent and trash on my account?

  I have local folders and my account listed below. Local folders have folders Inbox, drafts, Sent, Trash and Outbox in it. My account has the Inbox and trash in there. I want to have everything (maybe even local folders) in my account. Can I do this? If so, how?

  I assume that you have a POP account you have just the Inbox and trash.

  Any folder that you create in a POP - account will not be on your drive.

  Any folder that you create in an IMAP account will be created on the server. (and you subscribe you to it) All mail that you put there is stored on the server.

  This is the basis.

  Local folders on your drive.
  Unless you also name a folder in your account, but why would you, it would still be another folder with different letters and have no connection with your local folders.

• How can I move the folders from Windows XP that contains "Live Mail" e-mail files to a different location than C:\Document and Setings\...?

  I just migrated my PC Windows XP "Outlook Express" to "Live Mail" and the migration went really well - the progress of conversion migrated without any human intervention my thousands and thousands of emails, my many Email of OE, my address book files.

  I have however a problem and are not top-of-now a solution for this.

  With Outlook Express, files of Windows XP with my emails were on another Partition of Disk Partition c.  It is important for me, for all the 'application data' (for example, all emails) stored in another partition of the disc the C partition. Because if trouble with newly installed software (for example a beta Version of the software), I can use a backup of my C Partition and restore it without losing the data of the application (for example without losing everything new emails).

  Question 1: With "Live Mail", can I keep my emails to another folder of Windows XP as the standard C:\Document and Settings\... file? If Yes: How can I do this?

  Question 2: Is this whole "C:\Document and Settings\nom of utilisateur\Local settings\application data\Microsoft\Windows Live Mail" folder that I can move to another location?

  Where can I get information on these topics?

  Thank you for an answer.

  My apologies. I was finally able to find a description on how to move the folder containg XP on the Web e-mail "Live Mail".

  In the event a reader is interested in the solution, I included the link to the Web page containing the answer:
