Move vst3 to custom scan folder?

[sadicus]

if vst3 files are placed outside of the path: C:\Program Files\Common Files\VST3Common Files vst3

Will it effect performance or cause any issues in Cakewalk?

Many vst3 files are not in folders, and a scan will look at EVERYTHING.
I want to make custom folder with a select few vst, but that means duplicating the vst3 or moving it into a folder.

the approach here was to add more folders under C:\Program Files\Common Files\VST3\ 

moving has been a problem only with XLN. all others scan (or not) with no problem.

vst3 is considered a system location (not just by cw), so it's not advised to try and change that - -big mess may happen

Thanks, I have everything working and don't want to mess it up. But several Programs scan all the VST3 files and I only need a few.
If I can just move the stray vst3 into folders, then scan will be much more efficient.
So as long as the vst3 are located in the C:\Program Files\Common Files\VST3Common Files vst3 location it should work.
