Create two folders for profiling on Windows 10
Hey, I see you're dealing with a tricky setup issue. It sounds like your profile files are spread across two locations and you're trying to keep them synchronized. With the partitions you mentioned, it's possible that changes in one place affected the other due to how Windows handles file paths and permissions. Since you extended and shunk partitions, it might be worth checking the folder structure and file permissions to ensure everything links correctly. Also, since you're planning to move data between SSDs and HDDs, make sure the migration tool or method you're using preserves the relationships properly. If you want a cleaner setup, consider backing up everything first and then reorganizing files manually or using a tool designed for disk cleanup.
In Windows you can move folders like Documents and Pictures to a different place under your profile. You did this by accessing the Properties menu for each folder—click on the folder within your user profile, select Properties, then check the "Location" tab. There you can revert to the original path or adjust it to your preference.
I reviewed the Desktop directory. In the Properties window, the Location tab shows "C:\Users\name\Desktop". The folder in H:\Documents and Settings\name\Desktop lacks a Location tab, yet contains identical files and creation details.
You likely ran a tool or opened the command prompt to set up symbolic links. Here’s how to create them on Windows 10: https://blogs.windows.com/windowsdevelop...indows-10/ https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows...nds/mklink My advice is to save your files before proceeding to avoid data loss.
I haven't made symbolic links before, but I've downloaded NTFSLinksView and noticed junctions between H:\Documents and Settings\* (Full Path) and C:\Users (Target Path). They seem to be from two years ago, likely matching the OS installation time. I plan to remove them in a test folder.
