It seems the my new PC has a small (128 GB) HD and a 1TB SS Drive for data storage.  The HD is maxed out with program files such that I can not add JNPG DL files to my courses folder on the C drive.

Is there a way to direct JNPG to look for the courses in another location that the default under Steam?

 

As always any help will be greatly appreciated.

With that setup you should install Steam on the other drive as the games chew up HD space in a hurry. You also don't want to fill up your C: drive much above 50% or you'll start losing performance. To install programs on the other drive just change the drive letter when it's asking for install location, leave the rest of the install path default.

 

Here's a link on how to change the default path of where games are to be stored, or you can follow the steps listed further down to move the whole Steam directory.
