Original of this guide exist in http://joshmouch.wordpress.com/2007/04/07/change-user-profile-folder-location-in-vista/ . I have changed some parts and omitted others to suit my purpose. [...] I wanted my actual user profile folder to be moved to a seperate partition/volume, including registry settings. I discovered that it is not actually that hard, provided you're comfortable with mass replacing registry keys and values.

If you want to take over yur computer and you are not an administrator, do the following: Go to the cmd prompt and type "net user" (without quotes) You will see list of users; determine which one is administrator; it may be listed as xadministrator, administrator, etc. & should be last on list Type at cmd prompt "net user administrator *" (without quotes). You will be prompted for a new password; be careful...when you type the new password, it will not be visible so remember it because you will have to confirm it. Exit out of cmd prompt, log off then log back in using the administrator's username and the new password. You are now the administrator of your computer. have fun!!

On command prompt, type: powercfg -h off

Having trouble with using other people's flash drives? You can do the following to prevent those little bastards (the malware that comes with others' USB drives not your friends or students!!) invading your PC. Disable Through Group Policy Open up gpedit.msc through the start menu search box (or the run command thingy) Browse to Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > AutoPlay Policies Change the value of "Turn off Autoplay" to enabled . You can choose whether to disable for just CD-ROM and removable devices, or for all devices (I suggest this). And you are done. Next time a friend or a student brings you a flash drive, you can safely connect it to your PC.
