I can copy the entire folder and not have to select the subfolders only? If the program can be stopped, would it be safe to move the ntuser file that shows up in the folder and then restore it afterwards?

drive to a newly purchased external hard drive. The rest of message said

Ntuser.dat Windows 10

"It is being used by another person or program. Close any programs using the file and try again." Have since ntuser.dat location windows 10 googled the error message and found NTUSER.DAT is an essential registry item/file not to be tampered with. How then can I successfully backup all my C: drive files? I need to send http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/87130-45-temporary-disabling-ntuser this laptop out for repair asap before any further problems occur on the PC and I lose my files which I am attempting to backup. Thanks so much.

The easiest thing to do is instead of copying your entire "User" folder under Documents and Settings, only copy/backup your "My documents" and maybe "desktop" folders, and any other photos like "my photos" - this will get a backup of only your data-files/folders without that NTUSER.DAT file. OR You could log-on as a different user with Administrator rights, then copy your entire User-folder for your other account - but this is more complicated. There is a lot of discussion about NTUSER.DAT in this post: NTUSER.DAT File Top quote reply Thu, 11/15/2012 - 7:10am #3 Anonymous Visitor Re: NTUSER.DAT "copying error" I am logged in as local administrator, and ntuser.dat keeps killing the copy anyway.

You don't copy any of the arbitration account's files. You copy the files for the account(s) under which you are NOT logged in. You could use, for example, the Administrator account to copy your account's profile (My Documents is a path under %userprofile%). -- __________________________________________________ Post replies to the newsgroup - Share with others.

Windows needs this file (badly) to load the user profile. Best leave this file alone. If you want to copy documents etc., just copy only the "my documents" folder and leave all other stuff in documents and settings alone. Windows needs a lot of these files, and it expects it to be where they were. (it is possible to change the location for the entire document and setting stuff, but you'll spend tons of time editing your registry).
