Moving users folder on Windows 7 to another partition, bad idea?

The problems involved in moving the Users folder are:

• Preserving special folders permissions and icons requires a full backup program rather than copy.
• A backup program would also spare you fiddling around with moving each of Contacts, Desktop, Downloads, Favorites, Links, My Documents, My Music, My Pictures, My Videos, Saved Games and Searches.
• Relocating these folders via Windows 7 may cause a problem when reinstalling Windows.
• It's far easier to relocate it symbolically by creating a link on C that points to the other partition.

The procedure as described in Moving your data where you want in Windows Vista:

• Backup C:\Users using a backup program
• Restore the C:\Users to your new desired location (example: D:\Users)
• Start WinPE or Windows Installation disc command prompt
• Using the command prompt
  1. rmdir /S /Q C:\Users
  2. rmdir "C:\Documents and Settings"
  3. mklink /J C:\Users D:\Users
  4. mklink /J "C:\Documents and Settings" D:\Users
• Restart

I advice to mind your backups before starting.
