Moving user profile to D:
Just re-installed Vista + moved 3 users from C:/Users to D:/ +moved all
their old (pre-install) files from old user profile to new user profile on D: Still having few issues with permissions/installing There must be a proper (belt & braces) way to move user profile but how? |

Here's one way apparently: http://joshmouch.wordpress.com/2007/...tion-in-vista/ Yes - seen that particular method - very long winded (search & replace in registry, etc) and still doesn't address permissions problem I just drag/dropped the user folder from C:\users to D:\ and then changed the registry profiles in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList from C: to D: works but having permissions issues |

After dragging each user from C:\user folder over to D:\ and changing registry I had few problems installing programs (e.g. Flash wouldn't install) I discovered that the cause was that permissions on the user folder was not the same as the original - after quite bit playing around, changing ownership etc i managed to match them to the original user folders and seems to be working OK - it could be an issue with my particular set up - i've never seen it mentioned elsewhere but i did have the same problem last time i installed and moved users |
