– NOTE: My old profile name and my new profile name was identical. I think the only thing I had to fix was what default programs I wanted certain file types to open with. Awesome! Custom settings transferred too. It took into account that everything from the old profile should now be placed in the new profile location. Migration Wizard put everything where it should be IN THE NEW PROFILE LOCATION. I was worried that it would try to restore everything back to their exact original locations (that would be bad) which included some things on the C: drive (AppData and whatnot) and the rest to the D: drive (Desktop, Downloads, My Documents, etc…) It did not. – Double clicked the huge backup file that Migration Wizard created for me way earlier. EVERTHING for the new profile was just where I wanted it on the other partition. Logged out of Admin and into the new user account. – Rebooted, and logged back into the Admin account. I left the ProfileDirectory key changed to point to the other partition. Makes sense being that it never could log on.) – Next, I changed the registry keys back to their defaults… except for one. (Not that there were any files yet, as the profile folder for the new user had never even been created in either the old or new location. I went back to the Admin account and deleted the new user account I created earlier, including files. User profile cannot be loaded.” or something. I kept getting an error about “The User Profile Service service failed the logon.
However, I could not successfully log into the new user. From the Administrator account, I added a user (trying to recreate my profile). (I previously backed up the entire drive to an external drive just in case I hosed everything.) – I followed this tutorial perfectly, but I had some issues with it. (Yes, that ended up creating the Admin profile in the Windows 7 partition, but I didn't care.) – Then I deleted my profile, including all its files.
I then enabled the Administrator account and logged into it. – So per your idea, I used the Migration Wizard to back up my profile. I then discovered this tutorial, but didn't really want to go through customizing everything all over again. I had not been 100% successful in manually moving AppData and all those weird links in the past. (ie: Contacts, Desktop, Downloads, My Documents, My Music, etc…) However, I really wanted my ENTIRE profile, including AppData and all those weird links, on the separate partition. On my computer, I had already been running “most” of my profile on a separate partition. And also make sure you have logged out in order to take effect. Check if you have the miss spell the directory name etc. This is an indication that you didn’t do the step correctly.

see this post when you failed to upgrade due to the change of the user profile location.A brand new fresh profile is always better. So highly recommend that doing so as early as you can. There will be a lot more steps to move a user profile that’s already been generated.When you logged into your new account (make sure with the new profile location) you can now delete your old account prior to the change. From this point on, any new user logged in to this computer will have a new user profile that’s located in the new location.Īfter changing the registry.(as using D:\ drive for example)Ħ. Change the value of the Default, Public, Profile Directory keys to the new location accordingly.ĥ. Open Registry Editor by type Regedit from the command line, and navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\MICROSOFT\WINDOWS NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList.Ĥ.
Copy the original Public profile folder in C:\users to the new location. (by default this “Default” directory is hidden, you need to go Tools > Folder Options > View (tab) > Show Hidden files, folders, and drivers.)Ģ. Copy the original Default profile folder in C:\users to the new location. This can save your mess if you did something wrong.ġ. Warning before you attempt to make any change in the registry make sure you have the original registry backed up. However, here is what I’ve done normally.

When you browse the file system of the SAS ® Workspace Server session host in SAS Enterprise Guide, you might not be able to find hidden directories or hidden files.Ĭlick the Hot Fix tab in this note to access the hot fix for this issue.Normally, you can do that by either using a pre-defined unattended install file or moving the individual folders inside the user profile which also will update the registry keys accordingly to reflect the change.
