Why not change the location in the HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows
NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList entry? This seems to work, both for relocating
the enitre Users folder, or for relocating user folders underneath it (for
individual users, or to move the Public folder.)

1) If you use the ProfilesDirectory key to relocate the entire Users folder,
remember that if for some reason that folder becomes inaccessible Windows
won't boot, period. (Say, you add a drive and the drive letters change, or
the drive on which Users in located goes bad.)

2) To move an individual user's folder, you seem to have to create the user
first so that an SID entry appears beneath the ProfileList entry. Find that
entry and change the ProfileImagePage key to a new location. Then log on as
another administrator user and move the entire contents of the user folder
over. This won't update the hidden NTFS junctions, though, so you'll either
have to receate them (with MKLINK or whatever) mindful of their security
settings, or do without them. You should also then search the entite
registry for the old path (say, c:\users\username) and change the entires to
new path. Finally, make sure that the new user folder has appropriate
permissions set!! If not, odd things will creep up like Internet Explorer
not being able to save history, etc.

Fun!
