Is it possible to move Document and Settings folder to another partition?
If yes how can I do ?
The same question concerns Program Files folder.
The problem is partition C: is alomst full other partitions have plenty free
space.

DUH!!!

Use a partition manager to adjust the sizes of your partitions.

It is possible but requires extensive registry editing and if done
incorrectly can have catestrophic results.

not render well in Firefox).

BEFORE you do ANYTHING, including using a partion manager BACKUP ALL
your Data and make sure, if you are using EFS encryption that you have
exported your keys etc.

You may just find it easier to to move your My Documents folder or to
uninstall stuff from C: and reinstall on another partition.

Surec. All do is uninstall the programs that you want to move and then
reinstall them in that new location. All you need are the distribution
disks.
There are some programs that resist this technique. They insist on assuming
that the program files all reside on the C drive.

Another victim of over analysing the need for partitioning.
