I need to move my C:\ProgramData
folder in a Windows 7 installation to D:\ProgramData
.
I understand how to make the symlinks and registry changes so this works. My problem is that I'm unable to copy the files in the ProgramData
folder because the OS seems to have some of them locked.
Specifically, the files in the C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Crypto\RSA\MachineKeys
folder are blocking the move.
Am I out of luck here? Is there any way to move the folder, create the symlink, and update the registry without any of the files in these folders being locked?
