How to Make Vegas Pro Recognize Moved Project Files Automatically?

Is there a way for Vegas to recognize that I’ve moved all my project files to a different partition on my computer? Currently, every time I open the project, it asks me to manually locate each file. Is there a way to make Vegas Pro understand that I’ve moved the project files to a different folder or partition, so it doesn't ask me to manually to locate the missing files every time I open the project?

When Vegas has found all relocated media, than save the project again and next time Vegas knows the new location when you open the newly saved projectfile.

@Nizar-AbuZayyad I'd had that problem in Vegas since forever. One effective workaround I've found is to put the media and project into the same folder. Almost as effective is to put the media in a sub-folder of the project folder. Vegas usually finds the media on opening but often asks if I want to save the project on exit even if I made no changes. But I guess I've given up when I use removable media by always mounting it on the same drive letter... that seems to work all the time if I created and edited the project while mounted the same way.
