    if you're using ThinClient just edit desktop shortcut and in the field target prepend:
    Code:
    cmd /C set temp=c:\path_to_your_new_folder && set tmp=c:\path_to_your_new_folder &&
    
    so that the full line will look like
    Code:
    cmd /C set temp=d:\trash && set tmp=d:\trash && "C:\Program Files (x86)\Drakensang Online\thinclient.exe"
    
    cmd is Windows(R) built-in shell - no 3rd party tool being used here

    /C
    tells cmd execute and shut up

    set is another Windows(R) built in command, it changes environment variables, but the changes only applies to the game, so your computer is not affected in any way

    && is short-cut and, it means do this if the previous is successful

    you can now launch as many instances as you want...

    my shortcut already has it going to program files. but when I delete my temp files have to reload everything again. this what I mean. "C:\Program Files (x86)\Drakensang Online\thinclient.exe" that's what my shortcut looks like.

    The easy way would be to choose a folder share in windows and map the location to the temp folder and rename the link to DSOClient.

    If you need directions on an point just say help with point 1 ect.

    1. Make sure you are not running the game.
    2. Create a folder anywhere that you wanted.
    3. Right click and share this folder (suggest you name the share DSO)
    4. Locate the DSOClient in the temp folder and rename it.
    5. Right-click anywhere in the temp folder, and then click Add a network location.
    6. Name this location DSOClient.

    Now this should solve your problem or hopefully help you none the less.

    Should one clean discs withh CCCleaner to clean dso folder? I want DSO temp files to be on disc D because I have very little space on C ( it's small 55GB SDD and because of DSO it has got only 4 GB left so it's RED)

    Nope your good. But might I suggest you move your users fold to the d drive. This is a painful long process but will save you countless problems.

    Cleaning the disc is not needed if you rename the Original DSOCLIENT folder.
