Awhile ago I tried Cakewalk and then uninstalled it. Since then, all new plugin installations were defaulting to:
C:\Program Files\Cakewalk\VstPlugins
Since then I have found the registry key (I think):
Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\VST\VSTPluginsPath
But my question is, why in the world did Cakewalk do this? For anyone evaluating the software, please don't do this in future releases!
