Program Data / Codemasters folder / move to D partition

[stereo]

Is it possible to move the folder Codemasters from Program Data, to another drive ( HDD ) ?
I did that with My Documents folder, but i can't find the "location" tab on the Codemasters folder, when i right click on it.
Please tell me how to proceed, if possible.
Thanks in advance

Codemasters folder has a lot of data so is big in size? Is that why you wnat to move it?
Old folder name is C:\ProgramData\codemasters and you want to move EVERYTING in it to new location? Give exact name of new location please

Yes, that's right.
I want to move this folder Codemasters, to D partition ( maybe to " D:/ Codemasters " ) or something like this
Thanks

Quit the game.
Move C:\programdata\codemaster to D:\codemasters . Just by cut/paste (not copy/paste) the codemasters folder itself. After that in http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/783-elevated-command-prompt.html

mklink /j  C:\programdata\codemasters   D:\codemasters

Now open C:\programdata\codemaster in windows explorer. Works?
Game works?

Perfect. Thanks a million, it works.
Could i do the same with some other folders ( save games, etc ) ?
I have a few more ( smaller ) in C partition, not My Documents, and everytime i recover with Acronis, i forget to backup the games, and i have to start the game, which is very annoying.

LE : I checked the ProgramData folder, i have again the folder Codemasters, there
Same size. But it's strange, because i have more space on C, 2 GB more, and now after the folder Codemasters is back with 2 GB more, the space on C is still larger with 2 GB.
How comes ?

codemasters in C:\programdata is NOT a folder!! It's a NTFS junction point to the REAL folder. It doesn't use any space on C. C:\programdata\codemasters and d:\codemasters are actually the same!! make a test file in one of them... you see it in both locations.

So C:\programdata\codemasters is just kind of pointer.

I got it.
Thanks a million.
Can i do the same, with the folder called FileRepository, from C / Windows / System32 ??
I understand what those files are for. I only want to move them to D

I tried the same with the C:\Windows\System32\DriverStore\FileRepository, to move it to D, but in Command Prompt i got "access denied"
