documents and settings

[tony wong]

My C drive is getting full, is it possible to relocate this folder
(documents and settings) to D drive?

thanks a lot.

I do not know if you can move the whole folder, but you can certainly
relocate some of the subfolders. I assume that most of the space is taken by
your (or another's) "My Documents" folder. You can move this to an adequate
location on a different drive. Make sure you keep the share setting you want
after the move.

I used TweakUI to do the same thing (download at microsoft.com), but it is
probably sufficient to just drag the folder to a new location. If you open
"My Documents" from the start menu, left click on the system icon in the
upper left corner and choose Properties, you will see a button saying
{Move}. Good choice!

move the entire
Documents and Settings folder (Q236621). Changing ProfilesList chages the
location for any new user. I have done this, but it is not what I am after.
Since all the settings are in Documents and Settings you can't log-in if
that drive is missing (I seem to recall).

You can log on as another administrator and move some other users documents.

There is some really good info I found on another post. Check out the links
