Moving C Docs to a new drive

[bmeister1]

Is there a way for me to tell games to not store any information in the c documents folder. I would like to move all of this files into a new folder on a separate drive. Example C:\Users\FFG\Documents. I do not want anything to be stored in this folder because this takes up way to much space. I want to move all of the folders and all future data to a permanent location. I want all of my game data to be on this path D:\My Documents instead of what is the default.

I am guessing that this would solve my issue??

Yeah. Looks like that will work.

Hey guys I think its a UAC issue more then anything else.
When the program lacks the authority to write save game data, it will be saved to documents.
It should be if anywhere in the <user>\appdata folder.

So go through the installation directory for a game and set all exe's to run as administrator.
Test this with a game with a folder, move it out of documents, one run as admin is set, run the game. In game start a new game and save and quit.
Check if it created a folder.
If it creates one it's hard coded in to the game.

If you want it off the drive, then I would reconfig the users folder location.

I understand what you are saying. I did buy a bigger ssd for now. I now have a 500 gb ssd instead of a 120. I will try your suggestion. Thanks.
