All works good. eg.
Code:
target => source
C:\Users => D:\Users
C:\ProgramData\Desktop => C:\Users\Public\Desktop
C:\Documents and Settings => C:\Users
C:\Users\XX\Documents\Warcraft III\CustomKeyBindings\CustomKeys.txt => D:\Dropbox\Backup\CustomKeys.txt

Press F8 when booting, enter into "Repair your computer" mode, and choose "Command Prompt" when "System Rec Options" window appears, then execute copy and create link commands here, eg.
Code:
robocopy "C:\Users" "D:\Users" /E /COPYALL /XJ
move Users Users_bak
mklink /J "C:\Users" "D:\Users"
Also better dir first to check the drive letters, because sometimes unallocated space before C drive may cause drive letter changes in Repair mode (unallocated space becomes drive C in Repair mode, drive C in Windows becomes drive D in Repair mode. etc.), so the command also needs to be changed accordingly, eg.
Code:
robocopy "D:\Users" "E:\Users" /E /COPYALL /XJ
move Users Users_bak
mklink /J "D:\Users" "D:\Users" <- important step although looks wierd

Been using it since version 4.x, it can do pretty much everything. Was also more stable than Explorer back in the Windows 9x era, too.
Haha, I felt like the screenshots exposed my personal info, eg. fonts, naming habits and esp. my initials, so I deleted them. TC is indeed a LIFE-changing software. But geez Windows 9x? I hadn't even touched a computer then!
