Hi Bob, I'm not so sure. In Sonar > Preferences, the directories are still pointing at C:\Cakewalk Content despite having updated the path in CC. It seems CC moves the directory and updates its own registry, but does not update Sonar or plugins - hence using the symlink. It would make a lot of sense if updating the path in CC did update all references to it, but it doesn't seem to.




It took me all of 60 secs to change prefs.  My point was that if you do one method, don't do the other.

BTW, the mklink command is no longer available in Windows 10 as far as I can tell. 
 
I moved my Cakewalk Content folder to another drive using the Command Center. It appears to work although I found one addition to Rapture (Classic Piano) that didn't work so I reinstalled it using Command Center and that resolved the problem.

Since I started this thread, I reformatted my system and moved up to Win 10. When I did that, I remembered to set the paths in CC before installing anything. I do think though, that the bakers should build a prompt into CC asking the user where they want to install program vs content on a new install. And maybe also build in a simple function for relocating paths/migrating content.

'mklink' worked for me on Windows 10.
