I'm just wondering if it's possible to change MP's data folder from "C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Team Mediaportal" to (eg) D:\Mediaportal.

The reason I need to do this is I intend to use a diskfreeze program like Returnil to prevent any changes being made to my C: partition. I know it's possible to relocate the entire Documents and Settings folder but that's rather involved and I'd rather only move the MP folder if possible.

Hi there

Not sure if it is possible to change all at once, but you can look at the contents of your mediaportaldirs.xml file.
You can change various locations in there.
Also used for the centralised database.

Be sure to take a backup of your changes when you upgrade MediaPortal in future.

Excellent. Thanks for the tip, I hadn't noticed the mediaportaldirs.xml file!
