Ext HD and FrontRow

[cccallahan]

Hello,
I have purchased an external hard-drive from the internet and was wondering if FrontRow is capable of recognising a movie folder from an external hard-drive as the default.

For example, at the moment Front Row > Movies goes to my Movies folder on my internal hard-drive, is there a way for it to go to an external hd?

Thanks

yea, if you put an alias of your external movie folder into your main movie folder, it will work. i do the same thing and it works quite nicely.

thankyou
how do you go about putting an alias in the movie folder?
sorry, im fairly new to macs.

control+click the folder you want to make an alias of, select Make Alias, then drag and drop it into your movies folder.

I do this for itunes, instead of having copies on both macs.
