How to move the Asset Store folder??

Unity Engine

how do i re-path where Unity holds the Asset Store folders??

right now its in E:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Application Data\Unity … for me… (winXP)
…

i want to change this to D:\

my E drive is my windows drive… it has like 2Gb on it…
D drive has like 1.5Tb on it…

…
i have always considered any program where the user cannot pick paths for things like this to be INCOMPETENT programs…

this alone, makes me reconsider using Unity… (and i have big plans)
…
this is not a small thing… it is huge to me…

if they cannot get this right… what can they get right??? .… im not going to waste my time learning an incompetent program…

… there is no way in hell Im investing my money (multiple k) in Unity until this is fixed…
… and probably not even then… big disappointment…

You can create a “junction point”:

  1. Move the “Asset Store” folder to where you want it to be. For example, I moved mine from “H:\Users\Alex\AppData\Roaming\Unity\Asset Store” to drive D: and renamed it to “D:\Unity’s Asset Store”.

  2. Open “Command Prompt”

  3. Type and launch the command that will create a link between the place where the folder was and where it is now. In my case the command looks like this:

mklink  /j "H:\Users\Alex\AppData\Roaming\Unity\Asset Store" "D:\Unity's Asset Store"
