I was hoping a system wide variable to make the change. Even if it is part of the install process.<br />

Perhaps it's the same as XP (can't check my Vista device at the moment).<br />
Try from the registry:<br />
<br />
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Wi<wbr />ndows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileL<wbr />ist <br />
&quot;ProfilesDirectory&quot; - change the value there...

Give TweakVI a shot - you can change a number of profile-related directories with it.<br />

Is there a setting someware that I can change the default location where users profiles are stored? Currently Windows Vista stores the user profiles under C:\Users. I would like to change that to E:\Users.

Windows Vista - Change User Profile Directory

Windows Vista is an operating system created by Microsoft as the successor to Windows XP. It was intended for PCs, workstations and laptops, and shares the same code base as its successor, Windows 7. New features included an updated graphical user interface (GUI) and visual style dubbed Aero, a new search component called Windows Search, redesigned networking, audio, print and display subsystems, and new multimedia tools. Vista aimed to increase the level of communication between machines on a home network, using peer-to-peer technology to simplify sharing files and media between computers and devices. Windows Vista included version 3.0 of the .NET Framework, allowing software developers to write applications without traditional Windows APIs.
