How did you moved the users folder? We should change the location of the folder from propertieslocation,

Thank you for the reply Joy. I moved the folder with the contents that would move (not all would) to my server, then tried to move the folder back again! bit stupid, should have known I couldn't do this! Not sure what you mean with your second sentence re "propertieslocation" is this something I should know?
