[Solved] ProChannel Preset Default Folder?

I would like to change the default folder for my ProChannel Presets in X3 and the manual says I can do so in "Edit", "Preferences", "Folder Locations", but I don't see an option for the ProChannel Presets.  My fresh re-install of Sonar X3 on a brand new machine is "C:\Users\Owner\AppData\Roaming\Cakewalk\SONAR X3 Producer", I'm wondering what I'm missing so that I can change the default folder location.  Do you see a ProChannel Presets option in your Folder Locations in Sonar?

Thanks in advance for the help.

    Pro Channel Presets are accessed via the "Fx Chain Presets" definition under Preferences.
     
    Mine are located here:
     
    C:\Cakewalk Content\SONAR X3 Producer\FX Chain Presets

    The manual has referenced a setting in Preferences > File > Folder Locations since the introduction of the ProChannel. To my knowledge, there has never been a preferences entry dedicated to Prochannel presets. The location is controlled by the ProChannelStripPresetFolder registry key in
    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Cakewalk Music Software\SONAR Producer\X3\UserPaths
     
    Either directly modify the registry or use mklink to create a directory join to the actual location.
     
    For example, if the Prochannel presets are located in "C:\Cakewalk Content\SONAR X3 Producer\ProChannel Presets" and need to be relocated to "D:\CW\Presets\PC":
    1) Move the presets to "D:\CW\Presets\PC"
    2) Delete "C:\Cakewalk Content\SONAR X3 Producer\ProChannel Presets"
    3) Open the cmd prompt and issue the command:
      mklink /j "C:\Cakewalk Content\SONAR X3 Producer\ProChannel Presets" "D:\CW\Presets\PC"

    Thanks Bristol_Jonesy and scook for the replies.  I did a little Regedit and sure enough, by updating the directory to my preferred path I'm good!
