Move Users Folder to Other Drive
A bit late to the party, but could be useful for others:
The users_bak folder is still displayed as Users, due to the foldername localization.
Within your users_bak folder (as well as others) there is a hidden system file called desktop.ini, which contains some settings about how the folder is displayed by the Explorer.
Below you can see the german name of the Users folder:
When clicking in the address bar of the Explorer window, the real path is displayed:
When you renamed the folder, the desktop.ini file, was kept in the folder, and is still used by the Explorer to show the translated name.
To prevent this, just open the file with Notepad and remove the line:
LocalizedResourceName=@%SystemRoot%\system32\shell32.dll,-21813
