How to change default New Unity Project path in Windows

Hi there,

I’ve seen the question come up a couple of times on the answers.unity3d.com site, as well as elsewhere, so I figured I’d try to answer it myself.

Lots of people seem to have a gripe with the default path chosen for new Unity projects when you create a new project, so I poked around a bit and found how to change it.

I blogged the instructions here: http://www.dociletree.co.za/adventures-in-unity-how-to-change-the-default-new-unity-project-path-in-windows/

It’s really as simple as changing a single registry entry.

Hope this helps people going forward.

As mentioned in the comments on the page you linked to, that method does not work. That key is for remembering the “last” project path, not a global default one.

I’ve managed to sort this out, at least in Unity 4.x in Windows, with the help of AutoHotkey. Posted the solution here: Change default folder for Unity Project.
