Hello,

I noticed NTLite added a new setting in the Unattended that perked my interest and I'm wondering if it can be used in the way I'm thinking of.

Every time I reinstall my pc, I go to Settings -> System -> Storage -> Advanced Storage Settings -> Where new content is saved and change each value to a different drive (e.g. D:\). Afterwards, I navigate to C:\Users\%USERNAME%\, right click every folder and go into their properties to change the location from C:\Users\%USERNAME%\[folder] to D:\%USERNAME%\[folder] have a question about the recently added Users (Profiles) Directory setting.

With this new setting, I'm hoping it'll streamline this process, essentially cutting out the process of manually moving folders entirely, by letting the user set a separate drive to contain the User directories.
Also, what's the proper way to automount drives on setup? I found 3 different ways: diskpart /s diskpart_scr.txt, mountvol <letter> <vol>, and New-PSDrive (No idea). How would I go about pre-mounting before Windows does it for me?

Thanks!
select disk 0
assign letter=D
select disk 1
assign letter=E
select disk 2
assign letter=F
 
This new option is if you want to move the User directory (default C:\Users) to another location
And so this directory will be "default" to the location you have chosen

That's what I understand, what I was wondering was: Can you move the Users folder to a separate partition/disk with this new setting?

Yes, it should describe it in the description.
Make sure you know the partition letter in advance, something that can be tricky during Windows setup.
