How to set a home directory outside of C:\Users to a user in Win7?

I want to put the outside C:\Users user home directory. Currently, the directory will be on the system drive, but ultimately I want to move it to another drive.

Here are the steps I took:
* Created the net per-user someuser / add
* Created the base directory will, c:\someuser
* Assigned the appropriate permissions and ownership to the base directory (based on what I've seen of other home directories, so full control to SYSTEM, administrators and the someuser and owned by someuser)

But when I connect with this user, all files and folders are always created in C:\Users\someuser.

I tried this on Windows 7 Home Premium and Ultimate, 64-bit computers. The command net user does not complain, and a 'net user someuser' indicates that the base directory is correct (i.e. c:\someuser).

Any thoughts?

Here you go:

  1. Create a System Restore Point.
  2. Logging in as an administrator account.
  3. Delete the C:\SomeUser folder.
  4. Move the file c:\Users\SomeUser to make it c:\SomeUser.
  5. Open the registry editor.
  6. Navigate to HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList.
  7. Search for "ProfileImagePath" until you find the one that points to c:\Users\SomeUser.
  8. Change it so that it points to c:\SomeUser.
  9. Use the system restore in case things go wrong.

  • How to set multiple home pages without also getting the page General options?

    I have two tabs with the sites I want as my home page. To set them as my homepage I have to open the tab options to access the general Panel. If I click on the button "use current Pages", it also saves the options under my home page page, that I don't want. I tried with the "open new windows in a new tab instead" checked and unchecked with the same results.

    Hmm, this looks like something that should be fixed.

    For now, I think you need to delete manually on: preferences in the list. Assuming that this is the third tab, click in the home page address box and press the end key to move the cursor to the right. You can use the BACKSPACE key to delete all: preferences and the last. separator. Does it work?

    I want to be able to have the homepage as a visible tab that when I visit other sites that I can leave these sites open while I jump to the home page, without having to leave the site when I get home. This gives greater flexibility when they surf on the web and select the tab function be used to its full potential.

    One possibility would be to pin the tab with the home page via the context menu of this tab, so it appears as the first tab and make sure that you open links in a new tab.

    You can use Ctrl + 1 to go to the first tab and use the context menu to close all other tabs if you want to open the tab of the home page and get rid of other tabs.

  • How to Oracle point home/U01 to the new partition/dev/sdg1 or grid.vmdk?

    People,

    Hello. I want to install Oracle 11 g RAC 2 with 2 Virtual Machines (rac1 and rac2). The virtual disk for each virtual computer is 20 GB which is/dev/sda raw device (the partition/dev/sda1 is the same size).

    I want to install Oracle 11 g RAC 2 grid using facility location is: home/.../grid/runInstaller. I'm at step 4 of 8 in the wizard whose content is as follows:

    Base Oracle: / u01/11g_grid
    Software localization: / u01/app/grid
    Book of cluster type: ASM
    OSASM group: dba

    Then click on the 'next' button I got this error:

    '[INS-32021] enough disk space on this volume for the selected Oracle home ".
    Cause - the selected Oracle home was on a volume without enough disk space.
    Action - choose a location for Oracle home that has enough space (minimum of 3, 017 MB) or free up space on the existing volume. "

    I have my 'home' directory using the test command: [host ora11g@rac1] $ df k
    Its output:

    File system: / dev/sda1 and tmpfs
    1 K-blocks: 20,308,020 and 848 184
    Used: 18,888,968 and 0
    Available: 370 816 and 848 184
    Use: 99% and 0%
    Mounted on: / and/dev/shm


    From the information above, we saw Oracle Home/u01 is under ' / ' (a score) and it's 99% used (not enough space). I've added a new virtual hard disk (10 GB) in VM rac1 grid.vmdk whose raw device is/dev/sdg and partitioned/dev/sdg1.

    My question is:

    How to Oracle point home directory/U01 to the new partition/dev/sdg1 or grid.vmdk?

    Thank you.
