I am using DeepFreeze to keep my C:\ drive from getting corrupted, but I need the "C:\Users" directory to be redirected (like a virtual directory or alias) to "D:\Users" so that basic changes to user profiles can be preserved between boots.
Do explain further, whenever any application attempts to access "C:\Users" (for reading OR writing), the file system should step in and perform the ACTUAL operation on "D:\Users" instead. This would mean that all of the user profile information would be stored on the D:\ drive, but the operating system would think that the information was still on the C:\ drive.
I am currently reading this TechNet article that talks about the "mklink" command, but the article doesn't describe what the various types of links are. I don't know which one will give me what I want.
I assume I want either a Directory Symbolic Link or a Directory Junction, but I'm not sure what the difference is between the two.
Thanks, but this is not what I am looking for. I need something that will redirect the ENTIRE C:\Users folder, regardless of what profile is being used. – Giffyguy – 2011-04-20T20:55:20.390
