You can also right click on "My Computer" select properties, select the advanced tab, click the settings button in the profiles section select the profile you want to move (you can't be logged in as the one you want to move) and select "Copy To". Select the path you want to move it to.
Once that is done, go to computer management, right click the username, select properties. On the profile tab, enter the path to the profile. Now it will look to the new path for the profile. This is real useful if you keep user profiles on a server to allow roaming profiles.
