NOTE: The Junction point folders MUST BE EMPTY to make a junction, so, if you already have Brave installed (If you decided to live with it or whatever), close Brave, copy the contents of the folders somewhere else and put them back after making the junctions, the destination doesn't have to be empty. I have another partition for all of my files and software, so after I downloaded and installed it on my windows 8.1 laptop (For windows 10 you can try compatibility mode if it doesn't work normally) I made the following junctions by pressing the "Create." button (Junction point -> Destination):Įdit: DO THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK, DETAILS ON THE BOTTOM OF THIS COMMENTĬ:\Program Files\BraveSoftware -> D:\Software\BraveĬ:\Program Files (x86)\BraveSoftware -> D:\Software\Brave x86 (Temp, updates, etc.)Ĭ:\Users\ \AppData\Local\BraveSoftware -> D:\Files\AppData\Brave This worked for me surprisingly well, although I had to go further than just reading that post (My work with command prompt was messy, confusing and didn't work at all), in the comment section of the guide, I found an awesome app called "Junction Link Magic", it's basically a nice GUI for making Junctions, the link for the software was dead but using the wayback machine, I found the latest archive available of the app and found it, you can download it here: (Home page of the app: ) For example, if you know it'll install to C:\Program Files\BraveSoftware\, create a junction for that to where you'd like In the meantime (as a work-around), you should be able to symlink this on Windows using junctions.
