Hi to all,
I have Windows XP Professional with SP2. I have one hard disk but with two
partitions. In the same PC there are five accounts.
In one partition, let say C:, I installed Windows and some programs and in
the other one, D:, I want to save data.
Is there any way to put Documents and Settings in D: disk?.
At the present I created one folder per user in D: but can I protect them
not to be accessed by other user than the owner of this folder?
Thanks a lot for your help.
Regards.
Alonso
 
Hello Alonso,

Instead of trying to shift the entire Documents and Settings hierarchy to the D: partition, you can
only shift the "My Documents" to the other partition for every user and thereafter make it private.
The following KB articles will help you out.
