I can the AppData-roaming junction folder to another drive?

Hello.

I have a boot drive for Win 7 (C drive) that contains the victory and apps. It is only 250 GB.
I also have a normal hard disk (I call it V unit) to which I moved "my music, documents, etc." C drive using the shell: UsersFilesFolder and using the location under Properties tab.
I'm a gamer and use steam. I installed Steam on my hard disk (disk V)so that she and it's games install instead of my C drive. Most of the games to cooperate.

Here's my problem:

By experience, I know that a huge game like Empire Total War (Sega - The Creative Assembly) will not install a folder on my drive V next to the steam, but also on the C drive, less AppData/roaming!
My old PC, I know that the folder created by "The Creative Assembly" on my drive C under folder Roaming will move from a simple 2 MB to a gigantic 20 GB in one year, once I have start saving the game etc!

I did some research moving of the roaming folder and also make a junction. I also watched in travel "the creative assembly" folder or to a junction for that.

The two methods has supporters and opponents. There are opportunities for instabilities etc. There is also a chance that everything will work properly.

What do you recommend?
If there is a method that you recommend, how do you propose that I go about it? I need some measures to ensure that it works correctly.
If I create a junction, it will show as a 'shortcut' on my C drive? Will be the folder on drive C, and then grow in size as well as the 'main' folder I have logged in my V reader?

Thank you.

  • Change the location of the TEMP folder on another drive

    1. What are the steps (dialog) to change the files TEMP system Windows7 on drive C for one of my other drives local HHD? Now, I have only a 160 GB SSD for my boot (C - drv) and want to keep the WRITE/ERASE SPO to a minimum.

    2. is it a security risk to modify the TEMP Internet folder of the hidden/protected area on the C drive to another local HHD? I read that there are built-in virtual paths and protections on both the system and registry that tends to protect Internet files TEMP containing viruses, rootkits, etc. to easily reach areas critical. Norton likely also verifies signatures in these default fields for the TEMP files.

  • Move the image to one folder to another - E10

    I would like to move an image from one folder to another folder and I can't figure out how to do this.  Is this possible?  Does anyone know how?

    Thank you

    Vince

    It is not as intuitive Vince but you must drag up to navigation in folders, then release.

    I hope explains it to the captain.

    I have only one level of folders deep, but if you have folders in the folders, pretty sure that you can drag it above the folder that you want it to be, i.e. moving the image up a level.

  • Can't choose Bridge CS6 hides folder on another drive/partition

    Hello

    I just installed Photoshop CS6 and noticed a no criticism, but nevertheless annoying problem in Bridge (platform: Win7 x 64):

    When I try to move the folder cache (Menu: editing-> Preferences-> Cache-> location, and then pressing the 'Choose' button), the selection of the path that opens is actually incomplete dialog.

    In other words, it shows all my records. In fact, it shows no partitions. It just default to the user usual directory (on partition C :), but not will not appear (and therefore: won't let me choose) any other partition.) To be more precise: the folder root tree shown is the 'Office' folder in my home directory of the user - and that's all there is.

    Since there is no field were I could enter (type) the path directly, I'm basically stuck now having my cache on C:. That is not where I want to. (I don't have enough space here)

    For comparison:

    In Bridge CS5, the same dialog box works as expected: that is, when I scroll down, I can also see the other partitions and choose a path somewhere, say, drive F:

    BTW: I also noticed this behavior even with the beta version of CS6, but was not concerned then because, well... it was just a beta, and I thought this somehting is also obvious that this would be fixed at the time the final version comes out... :-/

    Is there another way to define the path to the cache?

    Should I file a bug report?

    Until someone asks: Yes, I uninstalled the beta version before you install the final PS CS6, and Yes, everything seems to work as it should.

    Thanks in advance for any response.

    Kind regards

    Manual

    P.S.: If necessary, I can provide screen captures of the dialog in question.

    UPDATE: I just solved my problem - in a way that seems strange, but here...:

    1. It dawned on me ' if I can't choose anything outside my home directory of the user, perhaps I wrong Bridge by using another drive by putting a (aka shortcut) link it on my Windows desktop.
    2. I clicked on my desktop, created a new shortcut and chose the directory that I wanted to actually for the bridge cache (in my case: F:\caches\bridge_cs6)
    3. In the Bridge preferences, under Cache-> location dialog box, I hit the 'Choose' button again and chose the shortcut created earlier.
    4. And there, the path statement indeed seemed to search for the location on my F:\... by car.
    5. Now for the really strange part: after you closed and reopened Bridge (to see if it actually work and always be in the folder I want), I found that the opening of the path selector (i.e. the 'Choose' button) once again, it shows NOW EACH folder on EACH drive - just like he suddenly has (and always wants in CS5)

    Conclusion:

    My little hack 'shortened' seemed to have somehow "fixed" Bridge CS6 inability to go beyond the C: drive (and my home folder) to the file cache.

    Strange... but I won't complain.

    Thanks again, Curt, for your efforts. (Although they don't directly lead me to the solution, they made me think - and that's what counts.)

    Kind regards

  • Win7: How can I move user folder to another drive

    (with all its tentacles of registry supported)

    Related to this issue but a little different (using Win7 RC)
    I would like to move the folders from the user for all members of the family to E:\
    What is the best way?
    When I cut and paste, I am warned a bunch of system folders. In addition, I don't see the LOCATION tab when I click on properties.

    When you create a clean installation, using the combination of a system SSD drive and a conventional disc, such as a data reader, there is a way to 'move' the users folder (normally, C:\Users) and the hidden ProgramData folder (normally C:\ProgramData) for the conventional disc, or the data reader, using an answer file, or an unattend.xml file for an unattended Setup, as mentioned above.

    For a person making a unique, one-time Setup, trying to figure out how to create an answer for fully automatic, just installation file to accomplish this small one, is average, far too much trouble.  It is also not necessary.

    It is possible, during an installation of conventional and interactive disc installation or USB thumbdrive, to enter what we call, 'Mode of Audit', until the computer is called or a created user name and perform the necessary reallocation.

    (1.) a conventional facility.  If you are using an SSD, at the point the installation process where you are asked where you want to install Windows, you must use disk Options to delete all partitions on the SSD drive, before you select the SSD drive as a target.  Do not manually partition or format the drive before installation.  Windows 7 will do and must do, because Windows needs to align the logical format with the characteristics of the physical drive, and, also, Windows wants a small system partition for its own purposes.

    2.) when installation stops, waiting for you to give a user name and a computer name, the computer are not!  Press Ctrl + Shift + F3, and the computer will restart in... (wait for it!) "Audit mode '!  Basically, Windows create a disposable administrator account and log in, as this disposable administrator.  Hurt you, with regard to this temporary user survive complete the installation, but the computer works normally, and you can install the drivers and software.  Every time that the computer starts in Audit mode (you are allowed to restart), a version of Sysprep.exe GUI will pop up, offering to restart the computer in OOBE (out of box experience).  OOBE is where you were a moment before - that is to say, where you create a username and computer name and installation is complete.  Do not restart in OOBE, until you are ready to complete the installation.

    3.) he should know what drive letter (or the location of the folder) will be assigned to your disk Datadrive.  So, it's time, in audit mode, to understand this.  If you need to partition or format the datadrive, do so now.  On the Start Menu, right click on "Computer" and select Manage from the context menu, go to the computer management console.  In the management console of the computer, storage/disk management, you will find tools to change drive letters, partition, etc.

    4.) you need only a minimal answer file.  It is an xml (text file) file created in Windows System Image Manager application.  You can call what you want.  I would say: folders.xml.  Here are the contents of a folders.xml file, which is re - locate users and ProgramData to D:\



       
           
               

                    d:\Users
                    d:\ProgramData
               
           
       
       

    I'm going to imagine a scenario where you make this file on another computer, and transfer to the computer when the installation is done using a USB key, which, when it is connected to the computer in Audit Mode, is attributed to the extra drive letter:

    You could probably just copy the text above into Notepad and save it as a text file with the .xml extension and be good to go, as long as you wanted to use d:\Users and d:\ProgramData as your Datadrive locations.  (I used this answer file, with success; I do not guarantee that it will work for others.)

    5. to use the folders.xml, located in the root directory of your flash drive, plugged and visible under U:\ form, you must open a command prompt, access c:\windows\system32\sysprep and give this command:

    Sysprep.exe /audit /reboot /unattend:U:\folders.xml

    This will cause the reboot of the computer, but you will end up right back in Audit Mode.  As long as you're still in Audit Mode, re-location of these dossiers is not complete, because the temporary administrator useraccount still has his stuff in C:\Users and there are still a few active databases in C:\ProgramData.

    6.) now, you need to say goodbye in Audit Mode.  Remember that a graphical interface for the use of Sysprep to initialize the OOBE appears whenever you re - boot into Audit Mode.  "So after restart you 5.) you will have your chance to run it.  (If it comes to your personal computer, do check the box "Generalize" in the GUI of Sysprep).

    7.) finishing your Windows installation, create a permanent user name and giving the computer a name, etc.  When you're finally running, go get to C:\  C:\Users should have disappeared.  C:\ProgramData is probably still there, but it is normally hidden, so you won't know, until you go to Folder Options and check Show hidden files and folders.  D:\Users and D:\ProgramData (hidden) must also exist.

    8.), I like the idea of using junctions to intercept any program crazy enough to hardcode to c:\users or c:\programdata you will need to delete or move C:\ProgramData, before creating a junction to C:\ProgramData pointing to D:\ProgramData.  The command line tool, mklink, is useful here.  Open a command prompt, and then type mklink /? to get instructions.  If you want a right click GUI tool, you can check:http://schinagl.priv.at/nt/hardlinkshellext/hardlinkshellext.html

    After you create junctions, I think you could use regedit to edit the ProfileList key to the locations of origin C:\.  Folders.XML will have changed the Folderlist key, so that everything points to D:\ instead of %systemdrive%\ or C:\   I'm not sure what would be the point, but you couldn't.

    Yes, we know what talking about your question.

    a .sql script is just a plain text file containing everything you want.  The code in it can be a pure SQL statements, it may contain of the PL/SQL code, and it can also include SQL * more specific orders (keep in mind SQL * more is a tool, not a language, so that these commands are specific to this tool and other tools which can also interpret the same commands).

    Not quite sure how your question relates to this blog, as this blog is showing the code that gets the data in JSON format in a jqGrid (jQuery grid?) and then exports the data in an Excel file.

    What you're trying to do is to take a series of SQL * Plus and SQL statements in a text file and generate a CSV file from them.

    As already mentioned, SPOOL is a SQL * more order, specific to SQL * more command line tool.  The database itself has no idea what "spool" means, while passing to the database somehow does not work.  I also doubt that netbeans knows what that means, either.

    So, in short, how you try to do, not you cannot.
