Q:

best Method to move "C:\Users" on Windows 8

I am currently working on relocate my C:\Users-Folder. I found some solutions on the internet, but none of them are working for me.
I already tried:

Log in with Administrator Account, move Folder and Symlink to other
HDD
Edit HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList-Values
Audit-Mode with Sysprep.exe

I got issues like not working metro apps, not working store-purchases even not working desktop applications (Adobe Creative Suite, Steam,...)
It would be great if you have a solution, to move the C:\Users-Folder, wich is working well on Windows 8.
Thank you very much

A:

SOLVED!
I just used mklink /J to link C:\Users to (in my case) E:\Users and it worked very well.
D:> mklink /J Users E:\Users
Junction created for Users <<===>> D:\Users

I just was a bit confused about the folders, because in Windows Explorer there are still at C:\ but when you install Programs or copy Files to the Directory the storage on (in my case) E:\Users will be used.
You can check the Junction-Point in CMD by typing "dir" in your Systemdrive, you will see the junction-point and the storage-path.
Thank you
