Scott,

What I would do is install everything to one secondary memory storage location and create a new, minimal install on your primary drive.

To make sure everything works as desired, rename your existing /bb primary drive folder to /oldbb or something similar. This protects your existing installation. You can always return to your existing installation by changing the name of the folder back to the original /bb

Now run the Band-in-a-Box install program from the downloadable installer file, thumb drive or external hard drive. Select the minimal installation option. The only thing that gets installed are some fonts and a few other files. Here is a link for the online manual: +++ Online Manual Install Instructions +++

Copy the Band-in-a-Box shortcut from your external install hardware to your desktop. This shortcut points to your hardware where all the other Band-in-a-Box files are located.

The issue you run into when you start removing demo files and other non essential accessories is there is not a way for you to point Band-in-a-Box to the new location. All of this "stuff" is part of the main program and meant to reside with the program.
