Can anyone offer tips on how to achieve this ? I don't know if this will work in Windows, but I know that with Logic for Mac, you can just put an alias to your plugins folder next to the Logic app file and name the alias VstPlugIns. Marc

Hi Marc, Thanks for the suggestion. After several false starts, I finally got it working. Making shorcuts (Windows speak for aliases) of my VST folder within the LogicVST folder didn't work. Nor did making shortcuts to the actual plug ins. What did work (after re- reading your posting) was deleting the original LogicVST folder, and replacing it with the shortcut to my old VST folder. Hallelujah ! So thanks for helping out Marc, it's much appreciated. I'd been wrestling with this for months ! Cheers, Anthony

The VstPlugins or the Plugin Settings? No, I didn't touch the PlugIns Settings folder, which AFAIK is just Logic plugs. Its the VSTPlugIns folder. In fact I realise I didn't delete it, I just renamed it, so Logic wouldn't look in there, then made sure the shortcut had the same original name as the now renamed folder. Now I know it works, it's safe to delete it. Good luck, Anthony
