A brand new fresh profile is always better. So highly recommend that doing so as early as you can. There will be a lot more steps to move a user profile that’s already been generated.When you logged into your new account (make sure with the new profile location) you can now delete your old account prior to the change. From this point on, any new user logged in to this computer will have a new user profile that’s located in the new location.Īfter changing the registry.(as using D:\ drive for example)Ħ.
Change the value of the Default, Public, Profile Directory keys to the new location accordingly.ĥ. Open Registry Editor by type Regedit from the command line, and navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\MICROSOFT\WINDOWS NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList.Ĥ. Copy the original Public profile folder in C:\users to the new location. (by default this “Default” directory is hidden, you need to go Tools > Folder Options > View (tab) > Show Hidden files, folders, and drivers.)Ģ. Copy the original Default profile folder in C:\users to the new location. This can save your mess if you did something wrong.ġ. Warning before you attempt to make any change in the registry make sure you have the original registry backed up. However, here is what I’ve done normally.
Normally, you can do that by either using a pre-defined unattended install file or moving the individual folders inside the user profile which also will update the registry keys accordingly to reflect the change.
