FolderMove

FolderMove Download For Windows is a lightweight tool that lets you relocate software installation directories without affecting registry settings or functionality.

Folder relocation can be a source of aggravation for anyone who has used a Windows PC for any length of time. When attempting to relocate a set of folders to a new directory, you may find that more work is involved than you had thought.

The process of establishing a symbolic connection is typically not intuitive. It is possible that some users have never ever heard of such resources. Because of this, FolderMove can be a very helpful program. The system essentially takes care of everything for you. You need just choose a starting point and an endpoint on its uncluttered UI. Simply navigate to the folder in which the program was installed, choose the destination, and click the button.

To use FolderMove, choose the folder you want to move, then choose the new drive you want to put it on, then click the move and set a symbolic link button. This is an explanation of a symbolic link for individuals who are unfamiliar with the term. When the OS encounters a symbolic link, it treats the text string as a route to another directory and automatically follows it. A symbolic link points to a file that already exists, but can’t be accessed directly. If a symbolic link is removed, it will not affect the underlying resource. However, if a symbolic link is created to a specific target and that target is later renamed, relocated, or deleted, the symbolic link will not be updated or removed accordingly. It will remain operational, directing traffic to the previous destination.

If you’re running out of space on your hard disk and need to relocate some games, the application can help you do that. But it is recommended that you run the application As Administrator to avoid any problems while you transfer the folders.
