Question Changing the location of the "profile"

Hi,

I'd like to move my profile directory from "c:\winnt\profiles\usera" to my drive D:\usera (for exemple)....

How can I do that easily?

Thanks for the help,

\dany

to retain correct permissions and to not learn the hardway, create a profile share on the D:\ and do the following

right click my computer/properties/advanced/User Profiles/Settings/ click the profile you want moved and then choose COPY TO... the rest is straight fwd
