User Profile

[Ry]

Good morning! I did this once a long time ago, but now I
can't remember how to do it. Does anyone know how to move
user profiles from the default location to a separate
partition? We have quite a few users using one machine,
and every now and then, someone would load something they
shouldnt and ends up corrupting the workstation. By
moving the profiles, we can reload without having to
backup everyone's folders, all we'd have to do is make
some registry changes and we're back in action, any help
would be appreciated!

Just Open your Local Users and Group snap-in in Computer
Management Console, double-click the user and specify the
new location of profile path in the Profile tab
