Quick Question

Finally downloaded MS2020 after my computer went t*ts up, this took me a long time as had problems trying to find out how to get MS2020 back into My Library or whatever!!

Found it after five hours of trying this and that until my username for MS suddenly appeared!
Question is when adding add-ons I have made a short cut to the Community Folder even though a warning came up something about encryption?
Do you have a community shortcut or should I access it the long way round to where it is situated?
Many thanks in advance.
Regards
Nigel.

My MSFS is installed in E:\MSFS so my community folder is easy to get to (E:\MSFS\Community)
I guess if you’re using the default location buried deep in your windows profile, a shortcut might be easier.

Many thanks for your replies, had put in Duxford using shortcut but when I went to fly it was one half MS2020 default and the other was the add-on so deleted all and went the long scenic route as Dale does.

Could be worthwhile looking at the add-on linker app. Let's you put your add-ons anywhere and links them to the community folder via a symbolic link.

Now that sounds to be much easier, many thanks Dave.

+1 for Add-ons linker. Only recently started using it, but wouldn't be without it now.
