Move Groove data folder?

J

Joe S.

I did some Googling and did not find an Official MS article on how to move a
single users Groove data folder to a different partition, the reason is I've
partitioned 25GB off for my C: drive and it appears Groove sticks all of its
data in the user's profile... Vista is such a HD hog :)

Anyone have a good article on how to do this?

One way is to install the Groove Client in another drive. Before uninstalling
the existing Groove Client make a account backup and keep a backup of
workspaces by exporting it. Finally u can restore these things when u r done
with your groove client

Just out of curiosity, where IS the Groove file, so I can know what it is? I
don't know how to find it.

Thx.

This works perfectly, I prefer using a symlink instead of mucking with the
registry etc, Thank you very much Fabrice.

If your on XP I'm almost certain that as long as your using NTFS you can
still use a symbolic link to redirect the data folder, but I'm almost
certain XP itself does not come with the tools to make these links, the tool
may be in the Server 2003 Resource Kit somewhere... Hold on let me Google
it...


It appears Sysinternals (now owned by Microsoft) has a tool called
junction.exe that as long as your using NTFS 5.0 or later you can create
Symlinks for folders.
