I would like to move my user home folder/profile under C:\Documents and Settings to a different drive. The "Local Users and Group" snap-in is not available on WinXP Home, so there doesn't appear to be an easy to do this. Is there some utility or alternativ
e method I could use to do this? I am aware that I can move some of the folders (system folders, My Documents, etc.) under the user home folder itself, using TweakUI, but I would like to be able to move the entire user home folder and associated subdirecto
ry tree to another drive, hopefully without having to manually hack the registry to pieces. Thank you...
