    Redirecting User Files to Aux D Drive
    « on: January 14, 2010, 04:15:43 PM »
    I am running out of room on my Main C Drive, which is a SSD 65GIG.  How and Can I move all the user directories to
    my Aux D drive which has 900 GiGs from.  Can you link, like in Unix?   :-\

    You can move the My Documents folder (and many others), but the user folders cannot be easily relocated.

    If you mean installed programs, the programs would have to be uninstalled and then reinstalled to the new location.

    NTFS supports symbolic linking and junctions but you cannot do that through windows explorer.
