1. At the top of the RM screen, click on Search>Search and Replace.

2. Field to search: Choose Multimedia files from the drop down menu.

3. Search and replace only the first part of the path name that is different, not the final folder(s) which are the same or the file names.

Example:Search for: C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\My Documents\1-Genealogy\Replace with: Z:\Primary\1-Genealogy\

4. Click OK

5. In the "Replace this text?" box choose "Replace all"
Also change the location of your media files to the new path at Tools> Program options>Folders>Multimedia files.
