Creator Pro 2010 Fills Roaming Profile

[CamUniTech]

We have got the first batch of Creator Pro 2010 in and tried it out, but the sheer volume dumped in c:\documents and settings\username\application data\roxio is a problem.

 

We are running a Windows domain with 1500+ machines. A lot of people are hot desking, so we use roaming profiles with a quota of 22MB (to prevent lengthy logon/logoff of rediculously large profiles). After installing Creator Pro 2010, we are straight over the profile limit with 60MB of rubbish in application data. Bearing in mind this is meant to be for storing settings, not half the runtime of the program, it makes it pretty unusuable for any enterprise environment.

 

Does anyone know of a fix/workaround to move the junk off to c:\documents and settings\username\local settings\application data (not roaming, so perfectly fine)?

 

Edit: Have checked through config files, registry, program settings. Able to move some bits, but not enough

If you are running an Enterprise edition, you should be contacting Enterprise support not posting on a user forum…

Nope, boxed copy at the moment for testing, but no reason to believe it is any different. Only get Volume Licencing support after purchase and there is no forum, so this is the only starting point as I would like to get the boxed copy working.

 

It does say "Roxio Community", not "Roxio Home User Support", so I came here

The issue here is when initially launched (ie Videowave, etc...) most of the apps map to the %APPDATA% folder. You can change this in the registry before installing but it will change your roaming APPDATA folder.

 

The setting is located here:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders\APPDATA

 

If you've already installed it then you can try moving the folders and changing the values here

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Roxio\EMC12\VideoUI\Directories
