Default Move Data from C in vista

I really should not need to ask this…but I loaded Vista into my brand new C2D
computer last week and I cannot see how I can move ALL data for ALL users
from the C primary boot partition to either the second partition on that
drive or to another drive. It should be a simple matter, but I have
struggled from DOS-3.11-98-XP-XPsp2-Vista over the years without more than
average problems, I am now at my witts end.

When I try drag-and-drop, all that moves is a shortcut back to C. When I
try right click there is no cut or move option. All other ideas produce the
same result.

I would love to get this sexy new computer in order prior to my 75th
birthday in a couple of weeks so any suggestions would be appreciated…thanks
in advance

It's a bit different than XP with a couple of gotcha's but it does work.
