Thread Starter 
Is there anyway i can install my steam games to a different directory?

For example steam is installed on my E: drive, however i would like to install BF:BC2 onto my C: drive (SSD)

Anyway i can do this?

Thanks.

Alternatively, you can use Symlinks if you don't want ALL apps to be in the same place.

http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windo...windows-vista/

Basically, copy BC2 folder to somewhere on your C:\\ drive.

For example, if you copied the BC2 folder to the root of C:\\ like C:\\Battlefield Bad Company 2, command would look like this:

mklink /J "E:\\Steam\\SteamApps\\Battlefield Bad Company 2" "C:\\Battlefield Bad Company 2"
