GroverKen Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 This is going to be a question which was resolved a while back in the old Cakewalk forum but I can't find it. I have a folder on my main "C" drive which I want to move to another drive and then point to it from the original "C" drive folder, fooling Windows into thinking it's in the original location. I know it can be done because I did it before on my old computer - but I didn't hold on to the instructions. I think it was called branching but could be wrong. Can anybody out there help?

scook Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 I believe you are thinking of "Directory Junctions" There is a command line tool in Windows called mklink.exe to do this. To create a junction Move the folder to the new location Open a command window (it usually helps run the command window as administrator) and type mklink /j [old folder location] [new folder location] For example, to move C:\Cakewalk Content to E: after moving the folder from C to E issue the command mklink /j "c:\cakewalk content" "e:\cakewalk content" Of course, the folder could be named anything on E: There are lengthy discussions about this on the old forum using Google search for site:forum.cakewalk.com mklink Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

craigb Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 Yep! I was just going to post that, but Scook beat me to it! This works great for your Library folders too (Pictures, Documents, Videos, etc.). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
