How to correctly move user profile
When creating user profile during first user logon Windows Vista creates special folders for backward compatibility with programs designed to earlier versions of Windows such as "Application Data", "Cookies", "Local Settings", ... and "Templates" at the root of the folder. It is symbolic links with special ACLs. When I move profile folder to any other place I lose the functionality of this folders.I know the only method for escaping the problem. It is assigning profile path to user account, i.e. converting local profile to roaming profile in order to OS would copying profile to desired place after user logoff.I want to know easier and faster method.
