My system is broken down into a 2GB C: and a 6 GB D:. Is there a way I could move the Documents and Settings folder to the D:. It is just taking up too much space.
Thanks

In the user profile you should be able to specify a different home directory and everything you save will default to this folder.
Hope this helps

That is how I have my computer set up and it works just fine.
Firstly you must make a "My Documents" folder on the D drive,
Then from the properties of the desktops my documents shortcut select target and then browse to the new folder on d and then set target

hope this helps.

Create a new Admin equivalent user and login as that user. Copy the 'Documents and Settings' folder from C:\ to D:\. Now open
regedit to modify the following key:
< line wrapped >
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList\ProfilesDirectory=%SystemDrive%\Documents and Settings

Change %SystemDrive% to D: and go to each subkey and modify the ProfileImagePath value to point to D:\Documents and Setting\%USERNAME% Make sure that you get the Default User key also.
Close regedit and reboot.

hth,
Nate
