Can I simply move "Curt" (incl Documents, Music, etcetera) to another partition?
Will Vista automatically understand and remember this?
-Curt
No you can't because Curt cotains all the details of your user profile. You will be able to move a lot of it but it will leave you in a mess.
What you can (and should) do is to move all the user folders (Documents, Music etc.) to your second hard disk.
You can do this automatically by changing the location of the folder in folder properties - right click on the folder and use the options to move it.
The only problems you may encounter are:
- Any files open/in use at the time won't be moved
- Any programs with specific folder locations set up in their settings (eg. iTunes) will need to be told where the folder has moved to.
You can move the whole profile folder but it is a bit of registry editing - so I would personally avoid it and it doesn't achieve much anyway.
As for your hard disk being full when it shouldn't be have you tried turning off system protection and then turning it on again (used to be called System Restore). This can use up vast amounts of space without you knowing about it - especially in Vista and 7 where it doesn't only store lots of restore points but also store rollback versions of user files. Turning it off removes all the rollback and restore data.
