  Seems I NEVER hear people screaming about Windows Updates.  

Windows file belong on the C drive.  Data files do not.

I was suggesting that Windows has been known for filling up drives...  I remember as recent with XP and a 32gb C drive, that Windows was gobbling up.  I agree, the OS and program files s/b the only stuff on the C drive.  Cake is the only stuff outside of that description, that has stuff on my C drive, but it is a fairly small amount.  I also wouldn't see a need to repeatedly back up samples drives and stuff like that, unless they get updated.  The backup procedures are painless for me.  Couple minutes maybe??

BTW, Toontrack when it first came out made it difficult to put EZD files somewhere else.  IOW, if you by mistake let it default on your C drive, you couldn't move it, as Toontrack EZD couldn't then find the files. (and you had no previous info about this from Toontrack).  It may still be that way for all I know.  You had to UNinstall the program and REinstall...not to mention going thru Toontracks registration again and eating up an *instance* of limited installs with the program.  Many more Cake *screamers* than I remember people over at Toontrack.
 
I think it was only when Superior came out, you could move and redirect the sample files.  Since EZD is now EZD2, I wonder if you can now.

It's great that you're more/less content with the way Sonar does things.  Just chalk this up to one of those things that are bigger deal to some people than they are to others.
 
It doesn't matter how many times you find examples of things as bad or worse -in your opinion- it won't change mine.
 
Take a look around at all of the mklink and other discussions being had about how to deal with this.  Just think how many "Cake *screamers*" there would be if those folks wanted Cake to fix things instead of doing it themselves.
 
Great - your backups are sized and run in timeframes that are acceptable to you.  I'm genuinely happy for you.

BobF... I'm not trying to force you into a box.  In fact I think I stated somewhere else we probably actually agree on things. Maybe an apology too...if I was a tad blunt to some, including you??   In post #11...I state

post #11 I agree, the OS and program files s/b the only stuff on the C drive.

  It was the general tone of some threads and replies that I didn't especially care for. 
I bring up other examples to illustrate that Cake isn't the only "offender" in this instance.  NOT to build a case.

  I also mention the backups as being easy, because it's too bad others find it much more difficult a task than it really needs to be.

For some reason, you want to keep poking where as you're really wasting your time.

That's funny.

I don't think I've ever gone above 100GB on a C drive, in fact as I recall my last desktop, which I had for about 5 years and filled up with all sorts of crap, only got up to about 90GB. But I never even looked at my usage until I thought about getting an SSD in my newest computer. I had sat there thinking "Hmm, is 250GB going to be enough?" so when I looked at my bloated old C drive and saw it was only 90GB full, it was a pleasant surprise. But it's not really surprising when you think about it. We're not running air traffic control software. Apps are never going to take up that much space unless you have a gazillion of them.

 EZD 1 is the worst product to install rebuilding a hard drive.  Authorizations can be a hassle.  I like the simplicity of XLN where you can move files.  All I have to do with XLN is use the installer, type the password and it's set to go.

Yeah...it was a pain I remember years back when my C drive was getting too full.
