Jody Thornton Posted December 10, 2017 Share Posted December 10, 2017 Hi Folks: Wondering if there is a way to relocate the "Windows Defender" folder under \ProgramData to a separate drive or partition. I wanted to relocate all of the scans, updates and defintions to another folder on my D: drive. Any takers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Destro Posted December 10, 2017 Share Posted December 10, 2017 (edited) sure it could be done, try changing the pointers to those files in the registry. I guess just make a new directory and point the registry there. copy your reference files to the new one. Back up this reg key 1st so if it dont work you can put it back. It could be more involved than this. But its possible. Edited December 10, 2017 by Destro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jody Thornton Posted December 16, 2017 Author Share Posted December 16, 2017 Darn! After an update it just resets to the old location and puts new updates there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
