Picasa 3 uses a large data stored in user data on the primary windows partition.
This is sort of stupid since I installed picasa onto a 1TB drive to store photos yet the index stays on C:\ eating valuable disk space. Plus its to the size on my C:\ drive where I can no longer defrag it.
Here is a solution to the problem, using Windows XP symbolic links and a tool called Junction from the SysInternals group at Microsoft.
Dear Google:
Please pay attention to your products. Storing a large database in User data in Windows is bad form and a mis-use of local application data. THIS IS NOT WHAT MICROSOFT MEANT USER DATA FOR.
Please note, I install SQL server and the databases are not stored as entries in user data \ local application data
because IT IS A DATABASE!
Any way, now that my rant is out of the way here is the good stuff...
