Windows installation : location of the users directory

Posted: 10-22-2007, 11:44 AM
Hello,

As a suggestion to microsoft, I would ask for the ability to set the
location of the users directory.
It is well known that putting together the system and the user data is not a
best practive for installing a computer.
So why isn't is easy to indicate where to store user data when installing a
copy a windows vista ?
Like in Windows XP, this could be done via the registry after copying at
your own risk the directory on the drives. It is not practical nor safe.
I would be so easy to give to the user the ability to indicate the directory
where putting the users folder. I know there is a mean with the unattend.xml
installation, but it is not usefull to.

Thank you for taking the suggestion into account.

Pierre.
