I use exs on windows.
I keep all my samples etc on my D: drive (D:\audio\Sampler 
Instruments). I simply made this dir, created a shortcut to it, 
deleted the "Sampler Instruments" dir in the logic folder, copied the 
shortcut to the logic folder and renamed it "Sampler Instruments".
In summary, I replaced the original "Sampler Instruments" dir in the 
logic folder with a shortcut to a dir on my d: drive.

Ive found that if you move or remove samples exs was expecting to 
find, it searches your HD to find them. This is normally fine (but 
can take a while) except if you've got several files with the name 
its looking for (ie, "snare.wav"). In this case it gives you the 
option of chooseing between the first 2 it finds (I think). I dont 
know what happens if thre are more than 2 matches found tho'...

Move to quarantaine

This moves the raw source file on disk only. The archive index is not changed automatically, so you still need to run a manual refresh afterward.
