    Finally!! It works.
    1) I copied Arturia to D:\Arturia - not D:\ProgramData\Arturia
    2) I deleted the Arturia folder from C:\ProgramData
    3) I did Pick Link Source on the D:\Arturia
    4. In the C:\ProgramData folder I right clicked an empty space and did "Drop As ..." Junction

    Just saw you got it working. Great.
    I usually use Symlinks as opposed to junctions.
    I can't recall the different though.
    I remember once i HAD to use a "HARD link" to make some link for a single file work.
    I think it was a Vst2 .dll or something.
    But usually Symlinks work fine.

    I looked it up:
    "Symlinks are more versatile, supporting files, folders, relative paths, and network paths, but require admin rights.
    Junctions are limited to local folders, use absolute paths, and don't require admin rights."

    Anyway it is great to be able to do this for large libraries, etc.

    Yes, well I use cut and paste (not copy and past), so it was already gone after the move.

    Always safer to copy/paste and then delete. :bow:

    I read that Junction links are more robust - whatever that means.
