Profile Relocator is a step-based application that allows the re-locating of the Windows Users profile directory. Once re-located, any created profiles will appear in the new location in their entirety. A lot of issues have been fixed and new features added just to make it work even better than it used to. Profile Relocator now features support for Windows 8, as well as automation mode. Issues fixed in this version of the program include the following; a few English translation text strings, made registry write failure message clearer on running PR without admin rights, only one instance of Profile Relocator can now be run at a time, etc.

Basically, the benefit of using Profile Relocator to relocate your Windows Users profile directory is that it will now be stored in a location that doesn’t reside on the system drive, ensuring that profile data isn’t compromised as a result of re-installation or system failure. Profile Relocator is a freeware program that requires Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0. it is not a difficult program to download or install, but you might need to take a few minutes to understand how it works before actually making use of it. This version has now been programmed to work on Windows XP, Vista, 7, and 8.
