Any way to change content folder?

Hi;
I would like to move my TS2006 content folder from the default to another volume in Windows XP Pro.
Is there any way to do this? I looked through the manual on trainzoptions.txt, and couldn't find anything on file location.

Thanks

Update to my question

I am posting this info just so that if anyone else has any idea of moving the TS content folders to another place after TS has been installed...

I never did find a method of specifying a different folder for content.
Due to relatively unrelated events, I decided to completely re-install Win XP on my system, after having re-partitioned my RAID0 drives.
I installed TS2006 on a partition that has 32K clusters, and is completely separate from the OS partition in that I can re-install Windows without worrying about losing my content.
Having the 32K clusters will help performance in saving large files, so I think this move was worthwhile.

Now, the only thing I need to figure out is how to restore my content backup to my new content folder without reinstalling all of the content, as I no longer need or want some of it.
If anyone does read this, and has a way to identify the cryptic names of the content folders, I would appreciate your sharing this secret with me.
Otherwise, I will just copy the restored content into the TS Local folder with the option to skip existing folders checked.

I'd suggest that you just copy the whole folder and then use CMP to delete whatever content you no longer want. I know some people have issues with CMP, but no matter how screwed up it is, I can't imagine it being any slower than manually digging through the local folder!

I can't help with your first question, as I don't know if it's possible to move the content folder to a different location. I seriously doubt that it is possible.
