Regarding VS Code modifying the location of the plug-in

Because the default storage location of the VSCode plug-in is under the C drive, I don’t like it very much, because it eats the C drive memory too much, the location is not easy to remember, and it is not convenient to manage.

(Ps: These are all excuses, bloggers have a strong desire to control!)

I also checked some information online, and finally summarized as follows:

1. Install vscode :

          Save to the target directory, such as: F:\Vscode\Microsoft VS Code;

2. cmd to modify the plug-in installation location:

         Open the dos command window in the installation directory, enter: code --extensions-dir target folder, press Enter, the modification of the plug-in location is now complete;

         But if the shortcut key opens vscode, you will find that it does not take effect.

3. Continue: Modify the target parameters of the shortcut keys:

          Open the shortcut key properties:

          Modify the target input box to: "F:\Vscode\Microsoft VS Code\Code.exe" --extensions-dir "F:\Vscode\Microsoft VS Code\plugins" (Note: fill in your own vscode installation directory and plug-in directory here , The former is the blogger’s vscode directory, the latter is the plugin directory);

                     

          Here the shortcut key parameter modification is completed, and it has taken effect in the shortcut key open mode;

          However, if you open it with the right-click menu, you will find that the configuration does not take effect when you open vscode in this way;

4. Continue: Configure the right mouse button menu:

          (1) If you originally have a right-click option, modify the parameters under command:

                    1) Win+R, open the running window, enter: regedit, press Enter, and open the registry;

                    2) Edit -> Find, search for VSCode, or directly search: computer\HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shell\VSCode\command,

                            

                    3) Modify the data as:

                            "F:\Vscode\Microsoft VS Code\Code.exe" --extensions-dir  "F:\Vscode\Microsoft VS Code\plugins" "%1"

                           (Similarly, subject to your own computer catalog)

                           

                            At this point, the right-click menu configuration is completed and has taken effect;

       (2) If there is no right-click menu option before, you want to add:

                  1) Click on HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT in turn ---> * ---> shell,

                  2) Right-click the shell and create a new item. A folder will appear for you to name, write the name of the file you want to add, and right-click the named folder to create a new item. Name it command.

                                         

                  3) Specific parameters can imitate existing items, the same as above:

                             "F:\Vscode\Microsoft VS Code\Code.exe" --extensions-dir  "F:\Vscode\Microsoft VS Code\plugins" "%1"

                           (Subject to your own computer catalog)

OK, you're done! Now you can play with your own vscode! ! !
