Hi - I'm an experienced user; is the simplest way to just move all my models only (not the main program), to an external drive to just first copy all files to external drive, then run regedit and change pathing:

FROM:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Totem\vghd\System]
"Modelspath"="C:\Users\myname\AppData\Local\vghd\models\"
"Datapath"="C:\Users\myname\AppData\Local\vghd\data\"

TO:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Totem\vghd\System]
"Modelspath"="G:\Users\myname\AppData\Local\vghd\models\"
"Datapath"="G:\Users\myname\AppData\Local\vghd\data\"

? (where G: is my external drive)?

Is it senstive to, do I have to make a \users... etc subdirectory on the external drive, or can I just use g:\vghd\models and g:\vghd\data ?

anything else that needs changing? I don't like running .bat scripts, I just manually edit via regedit, is that all I need to do, on win7?

thanks...

hello @vgirlguy
personnaly i prefere place my collection in one folder by exemple

VIR/VGHD

that can give

G:\VIR\vghd\Models\"
G:\VIR\vghd\Data\"

of course you place the name you want for VIR.

i use 2 systems

XP and Seven then i made this config


for xp

G:\VIR\vghd\Models"
G:\VIR\vghd\Data"

for Seven
G:\VIR\vghd\Models"
G:\VIR\vghd\Seven\Data"


i find usefull the script, for all who not control him computer.

hi, thanks - that is a good idea, the one folder, I use W7. so, just checking, I can simply do the registry edit on that one value, and not have to run script or reinstall, is that right? I want to check before I move all the files.

yes of course. if you not change any other value.

i imagine, i have not to say you to save the registry before made the modification ;-)


ho and welcome.

thank you.. wow 12,500 posts! I remember vg from many many years ago, it's much better than years ago, so now I start buying a lot, but need extra drive for all the girls. very good improvements
