ISSession:FileRedirect (Command)

 == Operation ==
 FileRedirect works by performing a simple text replacement of the path+filename the application is attempting to open, with your provided snippet. You may replace all or part of the path. Slashes should be forward slashes ("/"), and will be normalized prior to replacement.  Matching is case-insensitive.
+FileRedirect is safe to use during PreStartup or Startup, but generally makes the most sense during PreStartup.
 == Syntax ==

 ===Redirect across drives ===
-Assuming the application is opening files under C:/temp/foo, and we want to move it to a different drive
+Assuming the application is opening files under C:/temp/foo, '''and is accessing the file via its absolute path''', and we want to move it to a different drive
 *FileRedirect "C:/temp/foo/" "D:/temp/foo/"
