in PC World: just moves folders in a profile. Interestingly he includes moving Roaming in ...\AppData\ and a folder for Outlook / Live Mail further down in ...\AppData\Local\ (unique in all articles I've read.)

Interestingly, this method left some AppData folders behind when I tried it. Guess W7 really doesn't want them move. One remainder here is permissions. They need to be changed because permissions are inherited from those for the Data drive itself. Pointed out in one of the comments and in other articles.

One of the most intriguing articles I ran across is

. It's notable for listing 3 shortcomings of the "MS approved" method and the depth and detail of the article as well the number (> 170), depth and quality of the comments.

Mainly, I really appreciate the fact he mentions specific shortcoming and potential issues to consider. Most article don't & the few how do just say there are some but don't go into specifics Read enough of these articles and it very obvious there are "cobras" in some of the under brush. Nice to finally be told where some of them lurk!

It was in the comments that I found reference to a modular script that moves some of the profile folders for the Default User and creates the needed symbolic links as well as making the moving profile folders hidden (I've read elsewhere Media Player gets confused otherwise.) There's an authorized English translation

NOTE: you want to get the Multilanguage ( FRE & EN) script from the French page because it's been updated and handles permission management. 1st listed and filename ends with "-ML-S.rar"

I plan to go through the script to see all the stuff he does and then do some experimenting next with the new W7 machine I'm building.

P.S. Unfortunately can't remember exactly where, but I discovered one commenter reporting that moving C:\Users\ working on standalone machines but stuff getting seriously broken on ones that are part of a domain.

Eventually I'll do some experiments about the moving C:\Users\, probably during a clean install via an unattended xml file (MS does mention some support of this). One day I would like to join the SSD club... but that isn't this year.
