Application Redirection
Good afternoon-
I installed a program on my computer from a disc but in order to run the program I will need the disc inserted into my d:\ Drive all the time. Is there another way to point the installed program to files that I copied into a folder from the disc?
Thanks,
RB

The application has to support doing that. Even if it does, it's not easy to do. Sometimes there is an ini file in the program's folder that contains settings that point to the drive/path. Sometimes there is a Registry setting that does the same thing. And sometimes the app is designed to only run from the disc (that is a common way to try to prevent people from illegally copying programs.)

Thank you. It was a game I installed on my computer but didn't want to keep the disc inside of my CD/DVD Drive.
