The only thing I am not sure of is if you were to disconnect your external drive. Now, you should be able to tell the Xbox App to install games to C:\Games, but instead they should get installed to H:\Games, "tricking" the application. You will either need to choose a different name for the link, or delete the existing directory. Note: The command won't work if the link's directory name you selected already exits in that location. Then browse to H:\Games and you will notice that that text file now exists on your H disk in this location (and only here). This should result in the following output: Junction created for H:\Games > C:\Games Lets say you want your games to be installed to H:\Games, but the application you are using (Xbox App) forces you to use the C:\ drive, you can create a symbolic link like so: mklink /j H:\Games C:\Games In your case, I believe you want to use /j parameter which will create directory junction (basically, a directory that points to another directory). The syntax is the following: mklink | | ] You will then want to use the mklink command. To create the symbolic link, run a command prompt as administrator (according to the guide, if you are on Windows 11, you don't need to do this, but it shouldn't matter). Windows will automatically redirect it to D:\Stuff, and everything will just work as if it were in C:\Program. When you relaunch the program, it will try to access its directory at C:\Program. You could move the original directory from C:\Program to D:\Stuff, and then create a symbolic link at C:\Program pointing to D:\Stuff. You’d really like to store this directory at D:\Stuff, but the program requires that its files be at C:\Program. Let’s say you have a program that needs its files at C:\Program. It seems like it should be able to do what you need, seeing that the Xbox App apparently requires you to use C:\: This article has a guide on how to create one.
