Change user directory in Vista?

Basically, I would like to change C:\Users to D:\Users, along with all the content in the directorys.

Is this possible at all - or am I going to have to move all the Pictures/Documents/Music etc for all 4 users manually?

Right click my documents from the start menu, click properties, and then click the location tab. This is where you can change the default location. Do this for whatever folder you want moving. It works with Music, Pictures & Documents.

Yes but I want to change the whole users folder i.e.

C:\Users to D:\Users

I do the above for my home PC on XP SP3 so that all user profiles are on the D: drive but remember to leave the admin user on the C: drive a if the D: is unavailable for whatever reason you simply won't be able to logon as any user, found this out the hard way
