Moving users folder on Windows Vista/7 to another partition
Problem
When I format the computer and reinstall Windows, my first step is move the folder to another partition. In Windows XP it wasn't enough because the desktop folder and another user folders was in the primary partition. Now in Windows Vista and 7 we can use junctions/symlinks to "move" the folder to another partition and Windows and another programs will think that the data is in the primary partition. What the fastest and secure steps to move the Users folder to another partition and to create the hardlinks correctly?

Fix for: Moving users folder on Windows Vista/7 to another partition
On modern versions of NTFS, junction points which you used on XP are replaced with directory symlinks. Though, I don't really recommend doing this... you're not likely to see any performance benefit.
