When I installed Iclone, I did not have an option to change the content only the program. Is there a way to add content library from the D: drive?

Can I just add a disclaimer for anyone considering diving into the registry to try and change drive or folder locations of their content. If you attempt this you are doing so at your own risk.  Unless you are experienced with registry editing there is a lot that can go wrong and you may end up in a right mess with some or all content failing to show up. My own advise would be to uninstall and perform a clean install choosing the new drive and folder locations. It only takes a few minutes and will avoid any unnecessary risk.

Hello,

I used Symmover to move my overlarge files to another drive, it worked well...

Best regards.

Thanks.  :) 
(I would have done it myself, but I can't logon to Feedback Tracker at the office.  The "Login" button (and some others) don't work right.  Our wonderful security software is blocking something.  For the record, I'm taking my lunch break now.)

As for editing the registry and using links and stuff like that... It's great to have workarounds, but they shouldn't be necessary, especially since it's been a topic of conversation for several releases.  It's not a huge deal, but it's silly that it still exists, and it should be relatively easy to address.  Thanks again for entering the issue, Gerry.

ever consider just moving all the seldom used stuff to a external hd or different location and just making links
to them in the default or custom folders?

it works for many programs, iclone is one of them....................................

I've added this to the Feedback Tracker - issue 561.

I've moved all my RL files (and many others) to a shared drive on my server. That way I can easily access the files from any computer on my network.
For RL programs the paths are defined in the registry and it is just a matter of finding and changing them for each RL application.

If you are not comfortable editing the registry then the best way is to reinstall each app selecting the new location for your files.
No need to reinstall all your other files in the new location, just copy the old directory to the new location.

I have also successfully moved Steam from a C drive to a D drive for my brother.
Here are instructions from Steam that tell you how to do this:

I added all SSD drives.
Now my com is so fast and hardly ever a crash. Well worth the small investment. Just never do a defrag on an SSD. Not necessary and it will mess up your drive using Win 10. Ebay offers great prices on SSD drives. Of course Ram is needed...32GB to work well.

Also, you can uninstall IC and reinstall it without losing anything else. That is the easiest way....but then all NEW materials will be added to your choice of drives for your NEW materials....then just move/copy your current items to that drive according to the proper dir.
