A user on Reddit revealed how it is now possible to select which directory you wish to install your Steam games to. That's right, no longer are you confined to installing to the drive you installed Steam to, and no longer will you have to use junctions to move those directories.



First of all, you’ll need to be in the Steam beta. To get there you need to run Steam, click on the file menu option Steam, then pick Settings. In there, you’ll see “CHANGE…” under “Beta participation”. Click on that, and opt into the beta. It’ll automatically restart, but when it’s done you’ll want to quit out completely.

Now you need to add a switch to the Steam shortcut. So find the icon, Start menu option or whatever shortcut you use to load it, right click on it, and choose Properties. In there you’ll see the path it loads from looking something like this:


C:\Steam\Steam.exe

You want to add “-dev” to it, after a space, so it looks like this:


C:\Steam\Steam.exe -dev

Run that, and now you’ll see an extra page option, on the right after NEWS, called CONSOLE. Click on that one, and then type the following into the text field:
