You can change the Vijeo-Manager (project) directory but editing the registry for Vijeo-Designer.
Before making the changes, close all instances of Vijeo Designer.
The following three keys need to be changed:

Key 1) UserDocFolder
Key 2) VIJEO-MANAGERDIR
Key 3) ROOTDIR

For Windows 32 bits OS systems:

-> Vijeo Designer v6.1:
Keys 1 and 2 are located in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Schneider Electric\Vijeo-Designer\Vijeo-Frame\Configuration\
Key 3 is located in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Schneider Electric\Vijeo-Designer\Vijeo-Frame\Vijeo-Manager\

NOTE: When setting the new directory path in the Keys value, DO NOT include the Vijeo-Manager subdirectory but do create it on the disk drive with Windows File Explorer.

Modify them to the directory of your choice and restart Vijeo. If you want to have the samples and projects that are in the older Vijeo-Manager directory go to C:\Users\Public\Documents\Vijeo-Designer[version number]\Vijeo-Manager\ (Win7/Win10) and copy and paste the Projects and Samples folders into the new directory.

Launch Vijeo Designer in Administrator mode and the new folder will be set up for the Vijeo-Manager storage location.
