    Can't change WMC Recorded TV save location - always reverts to default


    As the title suggests, I'm having difficulty changing the Recorded TV storage location on my HTPC. The default location is C:\Users\Public\Recorded TV. I want it to save to D:\Shared\Recorded TV, since the C: drive is a 128GB SSD, but the D: drive is a 1.5TB HDD.

    Both locations are in the Recorded TV library, and I've set the D: location as the default save. (I also tried removing the C: location from the library, but it always re-appears.) I added the folder to the Recorded TV media library in WMC.

    Under Tasks/Settings/Recorder/Recorder Storage, I hit the + sign to change from C: to D:, and hit save. When I come back to Recorder Storage again 5 seconds later, it's back to C: again.

    Any idea why that might be, and how to fix it?

    Thanks,
      My Computer

    Try setting the path with the registry Editor.
    Set the path at this key, then reboot computer.

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Media Center\Service\Recording
