Spread Location

Howdy
I am running a system of one manager and four players. All of my content is stored on the D: HDD in my manager machine and the coolux software and windows and everything else on the C: HDD.

I want this to be the case on my players as well however when I spread the media everything goes to the C: drive on my players, correct file structure and everything but on C: instead of D:

Is there a way to control or fix this? I'd like to have my media on a seperate drive to the system on every machine if possible.
Cheers

There is a cheat for this.
If you link the mount the D drive as an empty folder on the C drive.
Go into "Disk Management" via "Computer Management"
Right click on the D drive and click on "Change Letter or Drive Path"
Then click on "Add"
Choose/Create a folder that is consistant with what the manager is spreading content to.

I did this on a show with 8 Player Pro machines with a regular rotary C drive, and 2 x Raid 1 solid state drives... it worked just fine. When you actually click on that 'folder' on the C drive, it brings you into the D drive.

Hope this helps,
