It's no secret that in Windows you can change the location of any special folder. All information is in the registry, but there are many ways that the default Windows configuration can be changed, rather than edit the registry.
This includes Documents & Settings, My Documents, My Music, Windows install folder, etc. SC will simply get the underlying path that is pointed to by the special "My Music" folder. I changed a lot of those paths in my PC. I think I initially changed My Music to point to a different folder because of WMP or iTunes, which insisted on writing to that folder (couldn't change one of those apps to write its files elsewhere). WMP had a habbit of finding album artwork and modifying folder.jpg files and making them hidden system files. This caused me to lose better quality images with silly thumbnails from time to time. So I changed My Music to point to another folder, and keep my real music files on another hard disk partition, where I believe it is safer. I configure all of my music apps to read from that path rather than rely on "My Music". I don't think I'm alone in this configuration - it's quite common for users to keep their music outside of "My Music". -- Philip Meyer ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Philip Meyer's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=95 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=53718 _______________________________________________ beta mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/beta
