Hi,

Moving "My Documents" does not move your home directory.  Your home is still
at C:\Users\Andreas and that is where AppData lives along with the temp
directories within it.  Only the Documents directory is now pointing to a
new place.


Try one of these articles for an after-the-install method of moving all of
C:\Users.
