Change profile folder for users

[Marco da Silva]

Hy all,

Is it possible to change the users profiles folder?
what I what is instead of them using "C:\\windows\\profiles\\username\\"
I would like to set it has "Z:\\home\\username\\"

I tried setting that in system.reg and user.reg, but with no sucess.

Let me explain the reasson. Im setting up a multi user installation of
wine, that is in /opt/wine , and I what to share that installation with
various users. This I can do with no problem. The problem is that the
"My Documents" folder and so on, are in
"C:\\windows\\profiles\\username\\" where the user has no write access,
and I dont want to change the installation setting up softlinks of every
folder, for every user to theyr Home folder.

Did I explain my self right?

Thanks

You probably didn't change it in all places. I think this is the full list:

Code: Select all

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell Folders]

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell Folders]

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList]
ProfilesDirectory

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Environment]
APPDATA
USERPROFILE

Thanks for the reply, I'll test that later on when I get the opportunity.
