How can I move location of Studio Instruments?

By default, SONAR puts them into C:\Program Files\Cakewalk.  They occupy 1.2 GB and I want to move them to my Samples Hard drive.  How do I tell SONAR where to look for them after I move them to another drive?  When I tried it, SONAR couldn't find them.

A process can not be understood by stopping it. One must flow with it and become one.

    I did this myself a while ago. Find the following key in the registry, and edit the Contents and Multisamples values in each of the four instrument keys to set the new path:
     
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Cakewalk Music Software\Studio Instruments


     

    SONAR Platinum x64, 2x MOTU 2408/PCIe-424  (24-bit, 48kHz)
