I need to get some feedback on when to copy and when to move files? Also, what best practices are when re-creating a profile.
I like to copy even though it may take longer because if the copy fails, I still have all the original files in one place. A co-worker was re-creating a profile and moved all the files
She moved them to another user's profile so Profile A Desktop icons were moved to Profile B Desktop. The same was done with My Documents, My Pictures, etc. Now the profile was an administrator profile, but when I need to recreate a profile, I
copy all the user files to a single folder either in the root of C: or to a folder I created on the admin desktop, which gets deleted when the user profile is rebuilt.
She told me that she moves instead of copies because sometimes files get corrupted when copying. I cringe because in the extremely unlikely event of a power failure during a move, it's possible to lose a lot more data.
