Change Location of User Folder in Windows 7

hi All,

I have just upgraded my hard disk...(Solid State Upgrade) and reinstalled Windows and all applications because I also upgraded from Windows 32 bit to 64bit.

I would like to point the users folder to another Drive.  What is the best way to do this?

Thanks
A.

apologies for the delayed response.....  I could only do this after getting a new hard drive.

I used Option 1 in the Seven Forums link and it worked very well.... it now is done.  However the issue that I have is with the Guest Account and Security Settings.

That is.... my Guest Account can view all the files in the Data F: Drive.

Any ideas?
Change the NTFS permissions so they are the same as the original folders were.

Sorry I have tried doing this... but getting lost on how - can you point to me to where I can find a guide.

Windows NTFS permissions have always confused me.
