    Changing the deafult path of WMROOT

    As a rule, we prefer to store content on our server's non-system drive (E:\) but when I run the "Add Publishing Point" wizard and get to the "File Location" dialog it always defaults to the "C:\WMPub\WMRoot" folder.

     Is there a way to change this to another location?

    I tried the registry key Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows Media\Server\Setup\ContentRoot which points to c:\WMPub\WMRoot by default.  I changed it to e:\WMPub\WMRoot and rebooted but when I rerun the Publishing Point wizard the "File Location" dialog still puts in c:\wmpub\wmroot by default and it's a multiple click movement to get over to another local drive/file location.

     I appreciate your feedback.  If it's a registry key or config file setting that'd be great.  If it's hard coded then I'll understand we're stuck with it for now.

    Thanks,

     Jason
