I suggest your installer properly determines which drive the use profile is on and store your files there as do most well designed applications

View originalProgramData can't be moved. just like you can move the Windows folder from C drive so don't make it worse than it is! Just Contact Support and ask them to Whitelist your Files then there will be no Monitoring of files unless the program updates again so just look at your scan log once in awhile and if you have many [u] files just contact support and they will whitelist them again! To understand how WSA works, most AV's just know Good and or Bad and with WSA it knows Good, Bad and Unknown so in case it's an infection it can rollback to the pre-infection state and all your files will remain clean!@ wrote:
thank you baldrick. Both items i've read. And indeed uninstalling/reinstalling does the the trick. I just want Webroot to follow proper rules when storing programdata. If i move my userprofile also my programdata folder moves. As i said before most applications indeed use the redirected userprofile. The only exceptions sofar are Microsoft (what a surprise) and Webroot

ok the last message makes me happy. Also i wasn't very clear in my earlier posts. My fault. I meant to say put wrdata in appdata so it'll follow the userprofile. I never understood the need for a sepearate appdata and programdata folder since they're both in principle the same thing and only confuse the the matter. In my simple mind application = program data.
I'm saying the ProgramData Folder can't be moved and it's hidden unless you show Hidden Folders. So there no sense in what your asking! Now to keep your C Drive clean of extra Data like I said contact support and ask them to Whitelist all your files then as@ wrote:
point is my bootdrive is an SSD and applications continously writing/reading from it eats away cycles. Ideally Windows should just boot from 1 drive and all other functions use user defined drives. At least that was the basis for user profiles being moveable.
You will probaly need a new PC/Laptop before your SSD dies as they make them so well today and I personally use Samsung SSD's.@ wrote:
