About this tag
The xcacls tag on WindowsForum.com covers discussions about using the xcacls command-line tool to manage file and folder permissions in Windows. In the available content, a user describes scripts that change the default user folder location to another partition, noting that xcacls cannot modify security on symbolic links and junctions. This highlights a practical limitation when applying permissions to redirected user profiles. The tag is relevant for IT professionals and advanced users working with Windows security, user profile redirection, and permission scripting, particularly in Windows 7 and similar environments.

    Windows 7 Changing the user space to an other partition

    I've writen some scripts to change the C:\user to an other partition. all seems to work but I can not change the security on the SYMBLINK and Junctions (not the directories) assuming all in c:\users\%USERNAME% is machine independent ... All data will be recreated at first login anyhow...
