Is there a way to change were my Minecraft saves save and load, because I keep Minecraft on a USB and all my saves there too, So I wanna load them off the USB and save them on the USB.

P.S I'm using Windows so I downloaded Minecraft.exe so Minecraft.exe is the one on my USB w/ my saves

Thanks
 
try making a batch file that copy's all the items in your minecraft folder to the folder on you usb drive. so when your done playing, run the batch file and your files wil be copied. sorry for slow response.ill give you an example for windows 7

xcopy "C:\Users\sam\AppData\Roaming\.minecraft\" I:\minecraftsaves /E

where I:\ is the flash drive directory
this does take a while (due to the amount of files) but it copys the minecraft folder onto your flashdrive. if you want just the folder with saves use this

xcopy "C:\Users\sam\AppData\Roaming\.minecraft\saves" I:\minecraftsaves /E

where I:\ is the flash drive directory. now for loading the saves onto your c:\drive try this one

xcopy "I:\minecraftsaves" C:\Users\sam\AppData\Roaming\.minecraft\saves /E

of course you could also make a batch file with both the files information into one to make a list of options, making it go like this::

@echo off
:restart
echo Would you like to save or load minecraft saves?
echo Type l or s to save or load. press e to exit
set input=
set /p input=l,s, or e?
if %input%==l goto load
if %input%==s goto save
if %input%==e goto exit
echo not a valid input
goto restart


:save
echo (type a)
xcopy "C:\Users\sam\AppData\Roaming\.minecraft\saves" I:\folder /E
echo Saves Successfully Copied
pause
exit

:load
echo (type a)
xcopy "I:\folder" C:\Users\sam\AppData\Roaming\.minecraft\saves /E
echo Saves Successfully Loaded
pause
exit

:exit
exit~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

How ever, i have taken the liberty to upload them for you in case you dont know how to use a batch file. also, you must right click edit the file and change the drive letter maually to match your usb drive letter or it wont work. also, keep in mind im using windows 7, i have no idea where saves go on other windows versions, however you can change the path to meet your needs:D
