Re: Documents & Settings Folder

I tried the registry editing documented in article ID 314843 (Q314843) to
move the entried Documents and Settings folder from C:\ to D:\ and never got
it to work completely.

When I searched the registry for "documents and settings", I replaced every
instance of "C:\Documents and Settings" with "D:\Documents and Settings ".
This was somewhere around 150 entries.

There were some names (ProfileImagePath, ProfilesDirectory) that had
"%SystemDrive%" in front.

Some names (\REGISTRY\USER\S-1-5-19_Classes, ...) had "HardDiskVolume1" in
front.

There was also (HOMEPATH) that had nothing in front.

I am not sure what to do with these other settings. When I tried changing
them all to "D:\", I got user accounts that had ".computer_name" extensions,
and some of the registry entries went BACK to showing "C:\, even though I
changed all of them.

What am I missing?

There was mention of a word document that had the instructions... Can I get
that to try?
