I need to change the path of AppData of specific programs.
Example of these programs:
- MATLAB 2014a
- Adobe Photoshop CC 2014
- Adobe Illustrator CC 2014
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 8.1

Change AppData path for specific Program
Why do you need to do this? I'm pretty sure you didn't just decide "I need to change the AppData path;" you probably have some other problem you want to solve, and there's a fair chance changing the AppData path isn't the right approach. – cpast – 2015-01-03T05:08:45.553

@magicandre1981 Do this solution requires these third party programs to be running while running my programs? I need to preserve computer resources (Processor/RAM). – Omar – 2015-01-03T07:28:25.177
no, you use them only once. – magicandre1981 – 2015-01-03T07:29:00.167
@magicandre1981 Which one of them you recommend me to use? – Omar – 2015-01-03T07:37:41.200
Try both. I use LSE most the time – magicandre1981 – 2015-01-03T07:38:13.040
@magicandre1981 From a quick preview of both, I think LSE have more features. Thanks! :) – Omar – 2015-01-03T07:42:34.867
@magicandre1981 I would set the original folder to a removable media storage, and the virtual folder would be on Windows partition (C:). Do you think there would be any risk? – Omar – 2015-01-03T10:11:13.553
play a bit and look if it works. – magicandre1981 – 2015-01-03T17:47:09.443
