Is there a way to move all the Documents and Settings file to another drive.
I set up Windows 2K on a small partition and I will run out of room if I
start saving everything there.
 
If you change the following path in the registry, new profiles will be
created in this location:

HKLM\Software\Microsoft\WindowsNT\Currentversion\Profilelist

ProfilesDirectory (REG_EXPAND_SZ)

BTDT. See "Cannot Move or Rename the Documents and Settings Folder" at

Sorry about the wrap. See the instructions under "Entire Folder". As I
recall, this was an iterative process, both for editing the registry, and
for moving the administrator profile. In other words, I had to exit
regedit.exe and start over more than once, before I was finally at a point
that I found no more matches.
