Daz is searching for files in the wrong location

A little background first, I have been using Daz since v3.2, on a couple of different computers with my content on a seperate drive. I just got a new computer running Windows 10 and plugged in my additional drive (E:). I installed DAZ Studio and changed the Content Database to the content on (E:).

Opened the content library tab, navigated to the desired figure, double clicked it ... a blocky figure shows up and a dialog box stating that my files could not be located. Funny thing is I could easily navagate to them in file exlporer.

Lost and bewildered; I uninstalled DAZ and reinstalled it (several times), double checking my settings so content would not be installed in the default My Library directory. Read forum posts hoping for a solution. Double checked permissions incase that was the issue, even uninstalled/reinstalled CMS incase there was an issue there.

This morning I wondered "Where is Daz looking for content?". I set up the default folder in Documents and copied the base figure files to it. Opened DAZ clicked on the base figure; low and behold I had an actual human figure, but that is not where the figure is mapped to, it's mapped to (E:) drive but reading the files off of the (C:) drive. Same with clothing and textures.

Yes, I did right click on the items in question and click on "show file location" to show where it is located.

Looks like DAZ has decided to use the default location for my files but, I don't want to move my files to the C: drive. I am running DAZ 4.9, have not updated to 4.10.

Anyone have a suggestion on what to do or setting to change.

    Change the paths in the Content Directory Manager

    @fastbike1 what should I change the paths too? As I stated in the first paragraph they are set to the E: drive, where all of my content is.

    Remove the C: path from your Content, or move E: higher up the list.
