Hi Andrei,

I am trying relocate All user profile from C: to D: that why i have to copy
everything in C:\Documents and Settings to D:. However, i failed to copy
some files, because they are used by some services/processes. I am not sure
what are using them, and i have tried to stop almost all the services but no
luck. BTW, what is Directory Services Restore Mode Password? How to use it
and what can it do? Is it save to pass it to non-system admin user?

Cheers
