Hello, all:

    I have NT installed on partition C:\ and I wish to make change to the
partition as little as possible.  So far I have moved pagefile.sys and the
Temp directory to another drive through Control Panel\System.

    I'd like to move \WINNT\Profiles to another drive because most user info
and files (default save location and default cache, history and outlook mail
updates) are located here.  I cannot find an applet or an app that does it
so I guess the only way is to modify the Registry which I am hesitate to do.
If you know a way please e-mail me.

    For those who are testing W2000 beta 3, if I do decide to modify the
Registry and move the Profiles folder to another drive, do you know how it
would affect the Active Directory?

    Thank you.
