How do I change the path to the movie files in PPS?

[aa]

I have a PPS file which uses wmv movies sitting in some other folder.
I now moved PPS and all the movies into one folder, but now it would not
play as it still looks for the wmv in another folder.
How do I change the path to the wmv in PPS?

For some reasons which are not relevant to this Forum, doing this is not the
best way.
Do you mean that there is no access to the pathes to change them?

Only via programming.

Our FixLinks addin (http://fixlinks.pptools.com) does this automatically.

We also have a kind of shape inspector tool that lets you edit links; this is
included in our StarterSet Plus upgrade (http://starterset.pptools.com) - not
automatic but very inexpensive.

Or if you're the do-it-yourself type, this is free:
