It seems Riffworks really only works from the C: drive on Windows. I cannot select another default drive, or set a Record File Path other than (a folder on) the C: drive. Since my C: drive is limited on space I would like to change this. How should I do that?

Just go ahead and move your RW files to the drive and location on that drive you want. Then direct RW manually to the file you want to open on the other drive. When you want to save a file, again direct RW manually and next time RW should go to that drive everytime to save, open, and etc.

How comfortable are you with editing your registry? This is an easy fix but be carefully you don't make any other changes while in the registry.

Go to Start/Run.

Type in regedit.

Navigate to this location, "HKEY_CURRENT_USER"

Go down to "software" then "sonomawireworks" then "riffworksstandard"

On the right column you will see "TempPath" Double click it.

Change it to whatever drive you want.

You can also change the vstplugins path too. But everything else can be changed within the program.

Many thanks! Found it in the registry and changed it accordingly. This solves the problem that riffworks doesn't allow to record when there is not enough space on the disk.

I'm glad its working ok for you now. You really need to clean up that other drive some too. You shouldn't be using any disk at over 50% of its capacity, especially the one that windows is on.
