Thanks for that information. I think that's a terrible situation where you are forced to install to your OS drive. I thought that was the old fashioned way. It makes it even worse in Windows 10 where updates have been known to uninstall programmes because it thinks they are "incompatible".

Don, There are several 'tricks' that allow folders & files to be physically relocated and logically remain in the original location, but they don't fool the Windows OS. It does not matter where you install a Program. If a Windows 10 Update thinks it is incompatible it will find it. The location of every installed Program is held in the Windows Registry on drive C: and you cannot and must not change that!!! BTW: The Windows Registry is where FH, and most other Programs, store data such as their Preference Settings, so that is another component not on your E:\ drive. Don't waste your time performing non-standard installations in the hope of fooling Windows 10 - it won't work!!!
