Does anyone know how to move the default SL cache from the O/S partition (C:) to a strictly data partition, and then have the SL program re-point to it? I am finding I have to defrag my C: partition far too many times due to the constant buildup and deletion of the cache file. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

easy peasy.

Go to preferences in-game, open the "Network" tab, you will see a field marked "Disk Cache Location". Click "Set", then simply set it to the filepath you want to use - e.g "D:\SL-Cache\" if your data partition is down as drive D: (as it is on my pc). Y.ou get the idea
