Move Opera Mail to your (encrypted) disk

Opera finally separated the browser from the mail client and it was finally decided to transfer the opera to a removable disk. But, unfortunately, I didn’t meet the normal way to transfer mail client files and decided to do it through symbolic links, especially because specifying the path to up to a dozen of the necessary opera files and directories in the configuration is not human.


I wrote bat-nickname, which step by step says what to do, namely:
- move the opera folder from % userprofile% \ Appdata \ Local to your folder
- delete % userprofile% \ Appdata \ Local folder
- the same for % userprofile% \ AppData \ Roaming
- creates links to the appropriate directories so that the opera thinks that it works in its appdata

I made a batch file to transfer to my disk (using symbolic links, so I need Junction ). Also in the batch file you need to fix the 4th line:
set local = x: \ Program Files (x86) \ Opera Mail \ junction , specifying the folder to which we are moving.
')
There are no checks, just telling what to do. Who knows the best (with the same result, but faster) solution, I will be glad to know. By the way, I did not use either copy or move, so as not to bother with permissions for cmd.exe.
Opera Mail + junction + move.bat on copy.com

PS Although the actions are separated by pauses, before launching the batch file, run over what will be done.

UPD bike is not required, because Shpankov kindly turned my attention to the option of installing on a usb carrier. so the way remains until another application moves.
UPD2 in this way seamlessly moved MSVS2012, I think it will be followed by other heavyweights and / or applications with personal data (for which everything was started with opera).
