    If you mean your profile you cant do that as far as I know. But if you want to just move your own personal folder just cut and paste wherever you want. Need some more speifics as to exactly what folders you mean. Ones you created or ones that are system (such as Docments and Setings - Username)

    If you mean absolutely everything thats not possible without a reinstall of windows. But you also say everything you have on your user, do you mean in my Documents?

    I want me to be usgin the space on the HDD and my parents to be using the space on the master.
    What i mean to say is...i need to move all that I have installed on the Master to the slave,
    not My Documents or anyother file/folder installed directly by windows.
    Would i have to uninstall all the programs i use and install them on the Slave??

    If you mean software, you will need to reinstall it. Some windows software writes data of its location to the registry and if you just move the folder where the software is located it will give u errors. If you want to move personal files its a matter of cut and paste.

    When you resintall the software just choose the new drive letter will it will reside.
