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.

Good afternoon-<br />

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?<br />

Thanks,<br />

Computer games are video games played on a personal computer, mobile device or video game console. Their defining characteristics include a lack of any centralized controlling authority, a greater degree of user control over the video-gaming hardware and software used and a generally greater capacity in input, processing, and output.

Microsoft Windows XP is the sixth release of the NT series of operating systems, and was the first to be marketed in a variety of editions: XP Home and XP Professional, designed for business and power users. The advanced features in XP Professional are generally disabled in Home Edition, but are there and can be activated. There were two 64-bit editions, an embedded edition and a tablet edition.

Windows XP

Storage devices include any device used for storing and retrieving digital information. Hard disk drives (HDDs) use one or more rigid ("hard") rapidly rotating disks (platters) coated with magnetic material. Data is accessed in a random-access manner, meaning that individual blocks of data can be stored or retrieved in any order and not only sequentially. The primary competing technology for secondary storage is flash memory in the form of solid-state drives (SSDs), but HDDs remain the dominant medium for secondary storage due to advantages in price per bit and per-device recording capacity. CD-RW (Compact Disc-ReWritable) is a digital optical disc storage format that allows information to be stored outside the mechanical HDD.
