User folder redirection

In Vista, like XP you can redirect a folder from your profile name in the
same manner. My question is whether it is possible to redirect the whole
USER folder which is always on C: to D: so that all users profile
information is always. Redirecting all folders one by one and for each user
individually is very time consuming.

Hi Andreas,

Since programs now run within the appdata folder under each user's profile,
migrating the entire profile to another drive may not be a good idea unless
you use roaming profiles on a network. You can migrate all user data storage
quite easily, just right click the appropriate folder, choose properties and
then employ the "move" button on the location tab.

After doing that, I run a batch script to make junction points pointing to
the new locations. I have actually forgotten why I do this, but there is a
reason.
