iTunes, photo and iMovie library access on start up

Hi, I have moved iTunes, photos and iMovie libraries to the public and would like the software to be able to access the various files on startup. At the moment I need to connect to the drive, then to the public folder before the files are accessible.

Is there any way to connect to these folders on start up to cut out this process?

Using OSX 10.12.2.

Try creating an Alias for direct access.

Thanks Trancer. Alias’ created and I directed iTunes to the new location of the library file. Still not recognising it though and asking for the library location following a reboot.

It does however work if I double click on the alias first the open iTunes. Is this the solution you intended?

Anything else I can try to circumnavigate the double click on the alias first or is this the only way it will work?
