    Vista Ultimate - 'User' Folder Location

    No tried that.

    Can copy the entire folder to D; but Windows still points to C as the location. Can change personal folders location to a folder on D;, but this still leaves hidden files etc on C;. Thus meaning there are 2 Users folders. Have managed to change the Public folder location to D;, with some registry tweaks, but this doesnt seem to work for the entire folder.

    any more suggestions

    Unable to change default user folders location from OneDrive to local disk.

    Hi, I want to change the location of my user folders(Documents, Pictures etc...) from OneDrive to my local disk. It is now currently set to C:\Users\<username>\OneDrive\<user folder> and I want it to be at C:\Users\<username>\<user folder> . I moved my files
    from the OneDrive folder to my corresponding user folders but the default location still points to the OneDrive folder.

    Any help is appreciated.
