As an insane person who moved all my folders to the D drive, it’s absurd how many big companies hard code C:\Users\you\AppData\Roaming
Easy fix, just mount your desired hard drive to a new root directory, call it /mnt/whatever and symlink... Oh.
Laughs in NTFS
I've had my PortableApps there. And the not so portable (but still standalone ones) too. Some of them could even permanently fuck up UAC, allowing acess to everything, as a side-effect.
The hardcoded AppData path is the main reason I had to spring for a larger system drive a few years ago despite not installing any programs to it. Gradle/NuGet/every other package manager were the main culprits, with Microsoft themselves coming second. Every few months I'd clear out their caches and "temporary" file folders and it'd free up tens of gigabytes.
I'd mess around with symbolic links to move it to another drive if I didn't half-expect Windows to break them at some point.
I... I'm sorry, I don't comprehend... Are you speaking some sort of archaic language or something?
