    Default How to change desktop file path for VDJ playlists.

    I've just downgraded from Vista to XP Pro Service Pack 3 and now the file path to my desktop has changed corrupting all my playlists, does anyone know how to change it to save me re-doing all my playlists?

    I've done my external drive by changing the HDD letter and that's sorted, but still need to point the internal drive to the path I had while using Vista, hope this makes sense.

    Open the playlist in notepad and change the file path in there.

    Would I have to do that for every track in every playlist?

    Yes, but by using 'Replace', it would be a breeze. For example :

    Edit->Replace
    Find What : "c:/xxx/xxx/"
    Replace With : "c:/yyy/yyy/"

    Will I need a search & replace program to do that Callum?

    No, there should be a find and replace command just within Notepad, and most other text editors.
