Right! I was coming back here with another topic.
A ways back I was here pleading for assistance in moving my Documents and Settings off my system partition--I understand that the default installation is one partition, but not why they should make it so hard to migrate that away. Especially if that's where application data lives. When it's where your mailbox and attachments live, it can get big quickly.
My workaround was to move My Documents off, and live with the rest in one place.
I'm shuffling drives around (almost done with doubling my capacity--just a Ghost session away) and needed to copy off the data from the partition that I'd moved My Documents to. I eventually remembered how I'd done that, but not before googling something like "xp profiles copying move" and finding a MUCH better solution to the initial problem.
While not logged in as the user in question: Computer Properties\Advanced\Settings and copy the profile information to your intended location. Then manually copy Local Settings, and go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList in your registry. Navigate to the profile in question (you can tell which one it is by the current ProfileImagePath, and then change the %SystemDrive% to make the path the same as the new location.
Reboot, log in, you're done!
Fuck man, that was so pain free I could even manage it on Percoset.
Found here.
Oh dear doG, I'm in the midst of hell. I'm migrating all of my email over to a couple of new IMAP accounts that I have with my Dreamhost sites. This means reconfiguring all the listserv's I subscribe to as well as the email clients on all my machines. What have I done!
Thanks for the Vonage info, everyone.
OK, question, hope someone can help me:
So, I need a copy of a boarding pass. I checked in online. This was last week. I think I threw out the paper copy (after the flight!). Is there any way the page is stored in my browser (firefox) history? If I try to go there from the "history" file, it just tries to get me a new boarding pass, which clearly doesn't work, at this point. Help?

I'm surprised about that. People's printers sometimes mess up, so the airline always has a way to get another boarding pass. At worst, you'll have to use the kiosk at the airport.

Flight's already past, though. Tech wise, I'd say you're out of luck. I'd call the airline and explain your quandary.

Whoops! Obviously, I didn't read closely enough....
Yeah, flight was last week. I may have to call the airline--it's just annoying. I'm really hoping that maybe I didn't throw out the boarding pass while cleaning, but... GRRR. (They credited me for the flight HOME, just not the flight THERE, WTF?)
Fine. They can just buy everything, then. See what I care.
