If I choose any file from the folder in it's new location, will PT automatically search in that folder for all the rest of the samples?
Delete the alias folder and just have the samples in the new location. And as Mr. Beeetsss says just point the vi to the new location. Most vi's will allow that to happen and you need to do that within the preferences of the vi in question. You may need to reboot the computer for everything to be seen in the new location.

And to Key:
Missed you around here. There's been a couple of threads asking about 'on eim' and Tamara and hobos. Would have thought you'd chime in on those. The poster starting those threads is a bit of a troll if you ask me.

edit for additional:
I see you chimed in one the one thread. Mightyduck (who used to be here as masterduk and other screen names) is the instigator I was referring to.
