I have my steam in program files, but it's on a non C: disk. What you can do is uninstall the game via steam, then use the option to re-install it in C: steam library instead of buying another copy.
Open up steam, rightclick on the Sh4 game(wolves of the pacific), click manage. Uninstall. Then I would delete the SH4 folder in "my documents" folder. Reboot. open up steam. install the game into C:Steam library. There will be an option.

i believe you can move the SH4 installation to a new folder.
Berbster has some excellent direction here.

When I try that it only gives the option to move it to another drive. He wants to use C: Talking about using the steam interface. Yeah you can copy everything to another folder, I do that routinely with every mod I use. Every mod has it's own complete installation but he still needs to get the base program out of C: program files. Easiest way for me was to use the steam inferface to uninstall it and put the base program in steam library

well, then, i do not know the answer.
someone with more Steam experience must read your post.

have you tried a browser-level search, using keywords such as Subsim Steam Move Drive?

i've had much better success finding answers with that technique than using the forum search. (my apologies, Neal)

As mentioned, I have a single drive. It was never a factor before. Now I find it locks me into their bizarre Program Files folders that have a spooky mind and will of their own with Steam games. By far the quickest and easiest option for me is to just buy another SH4 directly from Ubisoft for 10 bucks and install it to-C:\Games (a folder that I create)/SH4/TMO/RSRDC. For those with more experience, would that download path work? When it comes to computers, there's always a "No, because..." that bights me in the you know what.

As to Microsoft, this is what a rules and regs-"For your own protection" society does. It makes the simple ridiculously complex. It turns the world into a DMV.

Thanks for the replies.

I've detailed the easiest way. Use the steam interface, uninstall. Remove the SH4 folder in my documents manually. reboot. reinstall using the steam interface to C: steam library. The option is there.
