User Folder Issues

November 30, 2011 9:53 PM from

Is there a way for me to redirect C:\Users\Public\Documents\Stardock\Dreams and still let deskscapes work? I have Windows 7 64 bit Enterprise. I am using Dream Manager and Deskscapes 3. I have had trouble in the past with my C drive filling up with dreams. I have the cache set at 1000mb in Dream Manager but it never seems to clear it so I end up with over 15 GB of dreams in that folder. I don't understand why a program would need to copy a file from one directory to a completely separate directory. I would think running the file from directory you point it to would be sufficient. I would appreciate any help with this.

You can put your dreams on a different drive, as do I, and it works fine. It does not copy anything.

Dream Manager is probably your problem. Use Deskscapes to manage your dreams and they can be stored anywhere you want. You simply tell Deskscapes where to look for them in settings.

Note: You'll then have to direct all new downloads to your chosen directory. They won't go there automatically. If you download and install a dream by the normal method, they will be placed in the default directory, public documents.

Thanks. Is there a setting to switch dreams on a timer?
