I've been using this method on my Windows 7 computer for years, and it has worked perfectly.  I loved it.  When I upgraded to Windows 8, I did the same thing, but none of my METRO apps would work.  I tried every solution, but for some reason having the Windows folder and the User folders on different drives will make problems with the METRO apps. 

Because the METRO apps wouldn't work, I couldn't upgrade to Windows 8.1.  I had to reinstall Windows 8 just to get the Windows store and my PC Settings to work, but now I lost all of my software... including my free licence for Catia, which I got during a promotion for students that is no longer going on.

I wish I never upgraded.

Simply UNACCEPTABLE that you cannot move the entire USERS directory to another drive. Not only is this method inefficient because you have to do this for every single user (not a global way) but you are actually suggesting that most of the space users in the USERS Directory are located in those folders that are relocatable (My Documents, My Pictures, etc).

We are in 2013, where many people buy those expensive and space limited SSDs in order to get windows to boot faster and other applications to run faster. My entire USERS directory has 19 gigs of stuff in it and most of it, 90%, is located OUTSIDE of the folders you are offering to relocate.. Its been years now that people requested a way to move what is now known as the Users directory since Windows 7...

The only way to do this properly is through the SYSPREP method. However, if you create a restore point or upgrade your windows from lets say 8.0 to 8.1, you cannot use it anymore! I am one of these people who, had his USERS folder relocated on another HDD with Windows 8.0. I was forced to move them back to my C: drive because Windows 8.1 would not install, saying the USERS FOLDER was on another partition. HOW RIDICULOUS IS THAT??? Very poor engineering if you ask me.

Get into the 21st century and actually FIX THIS PROBLEM and allow people to move their Users folder where they want. There are risks yes, some people might relocate their Users directory on an external USB drive that when removed would cause problem but this is simply something that you have to ALERT PEOPLE when they wish to move their USERS FOLDER.

FIX THIS ASAP!!!
