Why is the user folder so big?

• Prevent automatic Expansion of the users folder

  It is a loss of a lot of time for me.  When opening explores, it automatically expands the users folder that I can navigate and collapse to get to where I really want to go.  How can I disable this annoying behavior?

  Go to start / computer and you will have a view that is not developed (at least mine isn't) - it shows C:\ and does not yet show the subfolders as users.  Or if you want just your own profile information, click on and it will give you just the files and folders in your profile (not developed).

  I hope this helps.

• How can I make a folder available only to a user (as the user folder)?

  I moved my library files and downloads folder to another partition. To do this, I did the "Users" folder I created "userA" application folder. I moved all the folders in the library in it. Everything was fine, but after the passage of 'b' user account, I found "UserB" can access all the ' wear "s newly made of the folders in the library.

  Is there a way to "wear out" folder invites a password entry window when "userB" or other users on the same computer try to access it, just like the original user folder in the original partition doesn't? (If "UserB" tries to access "userA" s original user folder in the C drive, it displays a password entry window asked to type ' wear "s login password.)

  Thank you!

  You can change your authorization file to allow only the folder owner read the files.  If your door-inherited certain permissions from its parent, you can open the advanced permissions dialog box to remove the legacy. See http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/what-are-permissions#1TC=windows-7 for more details.

  Note there is no defense against the directors. For example at the password prompt, if the user enters an identifier of the administrator, the authorization of your file could be modified to allow access.  Administrators have full control over the system.

• How to restore the default permissions (for example, the users folder) in windows 7?

  Dear windows users,

  Recently, I messed up the permissions of the files. What happened is that I took my laptop hard drive (win 7 64 bit system) in a USB external hard drive case. Then I get the USB into another windows office 7. I went through the users (perhaps of other files) folder in the hard disk of laptop on the desktop via a USB connection. It is very likely that the Office has changed the permissions of the files.
  I put the hard drive to my laptop, but some applications gives error like access denied messages.
  Is there a safe way to fix them? How to reset the default permissions?
  Thank you.

  BTW, have you worked with permissions of folders? Do you know what happens if permission to c:\users is messed up?

  When permissions in a subfolder in the users folder are confused so the user will not be able to run some programs, to create, modify or delete some files. The folder property affected, followed by assigning appropriate permissions, is usually sufficient to solve the problem.

• My C drive is nearly full, can I send the 'Users' folder to 'C' on another disk "D"?

  I am usiinf Windows 7 Professional, my 'C' drive is an SSD with 'only' 56 Gig. My hard drive "D" is a one terabyte with more than 900 GB of space left on it.

  My file 'Users' is 13 Gig.

  DAVID BROOKER

  I don't think you can move the Users folder, but you can disable Hibernate and move your pagefile to free space, and you can move your Documents, music, pictures and videos folders.  You can uninstall some programs, and then reinstall them using the custom option and put them on the D: drive too.

  Good luck.

• Why does the Lightroom folder in my folder users use 124GB?

  While trying to figure out why I'm running out of space on my hard drive, I found that Lightroom uses 124.3 GB to catalog my photos.

  If this is normal can move this folder to a drive work to save space on my hard drive? I am a photographer of nature with 131000 previews in my library.

  If you have an extract 1:1 for all 131 000 of your images or a large percentage still there is a chance that this is the reason why your catalog is so large.

  When space is tight, it might be useful to consider the removal of these previews that you don't need regular access to 1:1. Standard-size previews will remain after serving 1:1 previews. The alternative, you have identified, would be to move the entire folder (catalog and previews) to a disk with more free space. Once the move is completed you should only double-click on the file catalog moved to relaunch Lightroom with the correct version of the catlog. Lightroom will remember the new location of the catalog.

• Replace the user folder?

  I had a drive hard failure and then spent two days time Machine * (restore failed over and over again) before finally giving the place and moved manually on my supported up to data (ugh).

  I moved on my user folder, but it is not recognized in the system (users and groups), just the new preferences (another name) that I created when you install a new copy of El Capitan (former user folder is to El Capitan).

  I don't want to create a new user with the same name as my old username in the fear of it being deleted (tons of data that took forever to copy).

  Someone at - it experience with this situation?

  Advice would be appreciated - nearly three days of no productivity... I've gotta get back operational.

  Thank you in advance,

  Rick...

  Move this folder to one location other than/Users /, then create a new user. The items in the folder /Users/ are regular folders; the actual list of accounts is stored elsewhere.

• migration assistant for only the user folder

  I'm helping a student who left a Time Machine backup College but suffered a hard disk failure in his MacBook Pro here. We can't clone or make a backup hard drive TM or run the recovery partition. All we could do was to copy the user on an external hard drive folder.

  Apple replace the drive under warranty and installation of system software. When we reboot the machine that is repaired, we will be able to use setup assistant/migration assistant to transfer the folder to the user as it will not be recognized as another backup Mac or MC? Otherwise, what is the best way to get it on the laptop and recognized as a user it?

  (She needs to work on its data before returning to the University is not an option to wait until she is back with his backup TM)

  As far as I know the Migration can be done with just the folder of the user. What I would say is that you copy the text of the drive backed up by a folder. In other words, open the two folders of Documents and copy the text from the backup folder of Documents to the Documents from the computer folder. This, for everything except the library. Most of what is in the library will be restored as the computer is reconfigured and the applications are put back in place.

• Infinite loop of the user folder...

  Try reindexing of Spotlight

  Featured: how re-indexing of folders or volumes - Apple Support

  In step 4, you add all of the hard disk (usually called Macintosh HD). This will cause Spotlight to "forget" where your files are. When you remove the hard drive in step 6, Spotlight is obliged to locate your files again. This can take awhile depending on the hard disk and the number of files, but you can check the status by clicking the projector at the top right

• Move the Users folder to another drive or partition under Vista 64

  I want to move my full users folder to another drive or partition under Vista 64-bit.

  I found these instructions to do with Windows 7 and confirm that they work very well on a Windows 7 computer I set up yesterday.
  http://Lifehacker.com/5467758/move-the-users-directory-in-Windows-7
  ROBOCOPY, RMDIR, MKLINK programs all exist in Vista and have all the command line switches such as specified in section of Windows 7.
  I want to use junction points as described in the article, rather than messing around with search-and-replace in registry. The use of junction points is cleaner and easier to reverse if I ever need to move the Users back folder to its original location.
  These same instructions for Windows 7 works with Vista 64 bit to move my users folder to a different hard disk or partition?

  Well, I couldn't wait any longer for a response.

  So I gave him a test and Windows 7 instructions work perfectly with Vista 64 - bit word. Hope it will be useful to someone else.

• What is the AppData folder in the user folder?

  Thank you

  The Roaming folder is used for the data is copied from/to a server when the user logs on power in a domain environment. This allows the user to access their data from any computer in the domain.

  Folders are used to them for data specific to a particular computer. LocalLow is used by programs that run with a low integrity, such as Internet Explorer in protected mode. This is a security feature that prevents the file system is accessible from the Internet.

• The users folder names do not match the names of account

  On my login screen (and in the control panel > user accounts > account management) I have 3 accounts: Steve (Administrator) - set up as recommended, for changes to the system; Dave (Standard), Mary (Standard) - put in place for daily use by my wife and me.

  However, in C:\Users names were mixed up. C:\Users\Dave contains the files when you are connected as long as Steve; C:\Users\Mary has Dave files; There is a C:\Users\Mary_2 that contains the files of Mary. (I also have a completely empty C:\Users\Administrator folder and Public folder).

  Problem is that when I check these files over the network from another computer, that it's the users folders that I see, the account of names - very confusing!

  How can I change the users folders to match the account names?

  In the creative process and return to the system restore points, I managed to lose my wireless connection, so after trying to reinstall the driver, I've resorted to a recovery of the system back to factory settings, and were able to start from scratch!
  Thanks for all your help Pegasus - he certainly gave me another insight user accounts and profiles of school boards - in particular that are not removed if you remove one account records of the user associated with this account.

• Cannot delete the user folder?

  I can't delete the folder \\JONESPC\Users\Jack2 I tried to use regedit, but just ended up with a new \\JONESPC\Users\Jack2.JONESP folder

  This problem occurred when I tried to change the username to my main account I could do successfully by using the mode without fail & regedit
  But in the process, I created a new account I wanted to delete it later
  I went through the normal process via Add or remove user accounts & then click on delete the user account & then remove all files
  But this folder Jack2 remains!

  Then try:

  1. Safe boot mode.
  2. Log in as Jack.
  3. Property to enter the profile folders that bothers you - see here.
  4. Rename the folders unwanted profile by adding the suffix .junk.
  5. Wait a week.
  6. If all goes well, remove the folders of .junk.
