Quote - From Windows Vista on the Program Files folders became protected system folders that have strict write privileges.  User data should never be stored in them.  Frankly I am shocked that people that choose to use Windows don't know this by now.

...I'm coming from XP which allowed it (by default, Studio 1.7 through 3.1 installed everything there). 

I don't even use the "My Documents" folder for finished pictures or Word/Excel files as it is more of a bother to deal with.

Again, the My Documents folder by default is created on the C: drive.

I need all my runtimes on the larger D: drive.

My thinking was why didn't they just create a "Daz3D" folder on the Drive Root where everything goes?  That would have been simpler.

 

@ Richard.  So if I install Genesis content to a dummy folder then move it manually (rather than let it install to whatever default directory it goes to) and map the location in Preferences > Directory Management tab, I shouldn't have any pathname errors?
