  1. Problems After Moving windows Roaming folder to a new drive and now can't seem to put it back.


    Hello.I wanted to save space on my smaller solid state C drive by moving the roaming folder to a newer larger hard drive using the following method. Right click the roaming folder > properties > location > move. It only occurred to me after moving that I should probably run many of these files from the solid state drive. Furthermore some of my games seem to have broken as a result of the move, stating errors like "incorrect file header. . ." I noticed there is still a roaming folder in the C drive containing LocalLow and Local. So I tried to move the folder back to the roaming folder

    :)

    "Don´t roam" does not work

    I recently had the same problem using T-Mobile and a Lumia 710 here in the U.S. Moving to a small town with no t-mobile data connection, I checked my phone and it was correctly set to Settings->cellular->Data roaming options: "don't roam". And yet I soon
    recieved a message from T-mobile stating that I had used 80 percent of my free roaming. I called T-mobile and they did not seem to have a solution to this problem. Their only suggestion was to turn off Data (Settings->cellular->DataConnection: Off). This logically
    makes the data roaming options redundant. My guess is that this is a new bug in the latest update to Windows Phone.

  3. Roaming folder's setting not loaded comepletely?

    I assume you are talking about this folder:

    c:\Users\Jianwei\AppData\Roaming

    If so then these steps should fix the problem:

    1. Mark the code line below, then press Ctrl+C to copy it.
    2. Click the Start globe.
    3. Press Ctrl+V to paste the code line.
    4. Press Enter.

    cmd.exe /c attrib -h -r /s /d "%UserProfile%\AppData\Roaming" & pause

    Problems After Moving windows Roaming folder to a new drive and now can't seem to put it back.

    Moving Public Folder to another drive

    I have been asked to install an HDD in a church pc which only has a 224GB SanDisk SSD which is running out of space.
    The problem I can foresee is that the church uses an application called SongPro which insists to install in the C:\Users\Programs File (x86) and the data files in the
    C:\Users\Public\SongPro5 folder and does not give the option to be installed software
    on another drive.
    I have searched the web if and how the Public folder can be moved to another drive and found that it can be done using the following steps;


    1. COPY (don’t MOVE) the C:\USERS\PUBLIC folder to a different disk or partition
    2. Click the START button and type REGEDIT (not case sensitive) and press enter
    3. Expand HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE > SOFTWARE > MICROSOFT > WINDOWS NT > CURRENT VERSION > PROFILE LIST
    4. Double click on PUBLIC
    5. Correct the path
    6. Reboot the PC
    7. Go to C:\USERS\PUBLIC and delete everything
    Can someone here please confirm if the SongPro software is installed in C:\Users\Programs File (x86) (the SSD) and the path Public\SongPro5 folder moved to another folder will work?
