Every time I get a new version of Max, I have to manually copy all my 3rd party externals, their help files, all my custom extras, clippings, etc. Is there a way to bypass or automate this?

Thanks!

if its any use (guess probably not) my version of max updates without any problems, and my externals dont need moving.

OS and max version?

Do not put your externals and patches in the Cycling74 program directory.
Put them in your own directory and add the path to Max's search directory.
You should then be able to update independently.
