Windows Vista has a feature to move the user's home folder. Let's find a picture.

I see that article cover such a move in good enough detail and also talk of the issues that fall out.
Frankly this area is a mess. It's a shame MSFT never cleaned it up.

I wonder whether you can help me with that. I have the following isssue:
On a friend's computer, the user folder were on drive D:\, the same to which the backups are being made. In order to have the user files backupped, I copied the user folders to C:\users\
Although I changed the default pathways in several applications and also the registry, the system still seems to set D:\ as default path. How can I change that?
Vista seems to mirrow the user folders on D:\ even though I haven't set anything like that. This path now even contains two 'Documents' folders - the one I created myself in C:\ and the one being mirrowed. I've never seen anything like that. And it's not possible to delete the user root folder on D:\
I'm puzzled: What is going on? How can I stop this?
Thanks for your help.
