The download path gets reset any time one logs out and back into the Command Center. This is why I use a directory junction instead of changing the path in the Command Center. This way I can leave the Command Center at the default setting and redirect the files anywhere on my PC.
In my case the new download folder is "D:\Cakewalk\Command Center\Downloads"
Here is how to create the junction:
First move all contents of "C:\ProgramData\Cakewalk\Command Center\Downloads" to the new location and delete the Downloads folder from "C:\ProgramData\Cakewalk\Command Center." In this example the new location is "D:\Cakewalk\Command Center\Downloads."
Then to create the directory junction.
On Win8.1 and earlier issue this command while running cmd.exe as administrator:
mklink /j "C:\ProgramData\Cakewalk\Command Center\Downloads" "D:\Cakewalk\Command Center\Downloads"While this is still possible in the latest Win10 releases to run cmd.exe, to create the junction running powershell as administrator use this command:
New-Item -ItemType Junction -Path "C:\ProgramData\Cakewalk\Command Center\Downloads" -Value "D:\Cakewalk\Command Center\Downloads" Note: with either command "C:\ProgramData\Cakewalk\Command Center\Downloads" must NOT exist and "D:\Cakewalk\Command Center\Downloads" must exist BEFORE creating the junction. Also make sure to create "D:\Cakewalk Projects\Audio Data" so the defaults in SONAR are satisfied.
