    This is for Windows 7: User Folders - Restore Default Location - Windows 7 Help Forums

    Should work for 8.1 also.

    Both the users and program data folders were moved using an answer file.
    The tutorial above is different and does not restore program data.
    Do most people here have two drives, one OS and second for data?
