It looks like Windows 8.1 still stores Roaming Profiles in C:\users\username\AppData\Roaming ... which is different than C:\users\SkyDrive ...
So, are you referring to somehow making the whole C:\Users\username the "roaming" profile, which would then include the SkyDrive folder? Or are you referring to some sort of way to do a "folder redirection" of the entire home folder into AFS? Thanks.
