Hi all,

I am looking for a way to move all the \*.hsb files in the c:\programdata directory to another drive.  
My current setup uses a solid state drive for the operating system and is limited in space. I don’t want to put unnecessary program data on it.

What do I need to do to move these files and configure Cubase 5 to find them (and stop using the c drive where possible).

Here is what is on the c drive now:

Studio\_Content.hsb 111986283  
GM\_Sound\_Content.hsb 63998580  
Studio\_Drum\_Content.hsb 49560021  
GM\_Drum\_Content.hsb 24873193  
Studio\_Set\_1.hsb 3384747  
Studio\_Set\_2.hsb 2974386  
GM\_Sound\_Set\_1.hsb 2720432  
Studio\_Drum\_Set\_1.hsb 849672  
GM\_Drum\_Set\_1.hsb 247757

I think you can use [Junctions](http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896768.aspx) for it, that way you can “fool” the apps that it is still coming from c:\programdata but physically it points to another directory. Benefit is it is transparent for the apps so you don’t have to configure anything for it in Cubase.

You should move the vstpreset files for Halion. All you do is make sure Mediabay is set to scan the new location and Locate Content via right-click on Halion’s GUI.
