Dimension Pro - Program Directory modification

I have been modifying/saving some Dim Pro programs, and would like to save them in a directory that is on a hard drive separate from the "C" drive - the reason being:  if I can put all of my "user created" stuff on another drive, I can back it up, and know I have got all my user create programs and stuff that is beyond the program resources that come with the Dim Pro distribution - if I have a hard drive failure, I can restore the standard components from installation files, but I'd like to have all my 'user' stuff separate.   So, the problem is creating a multi-entry directory structure.  The standard location is something like:

  • Key: "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Cakewalk Music Software\Dimension\Multisamples Folder"
  • Value: C:\Program Files\Cakewalk\Shared Dxi\Dimension\
So, can I concatonate another directory, separated by a ";" so the value looks something like:

Value: C:\Program Files\Cakewalk\Shared Dxi\Dimension\;E:\Cakewalk\DimPro\

What I'd like to do is set it up so Dim Pro searches both directories for programs..  Is this valid syntax for the registry ?  Will Windows and/or Dimension support this? 

Thanks...

BB

    never tried, but well I'm about 60-70% sure that DP only has 1 multi-samples folder selectable/usable

    I only go as far as changing the default drive.

    OK, thanks!   Sounds like no "Search Path", then... I wasn't sure if Winders even supported this as a Registry behavior, let alone Dim Pro.   I guess I could just try it... ;-)

    Thanks... BB
