[Avid-L2] Local media drive folder name vs share storage media drive folder name

Traditionally in Media Composer if you are working with a local MXF media drive your new media goes into a numbered media folder

Avid MediaFiles/MXF/1
Avid MediaFiles/MXF/2
etc.

If you are ini a shared storage setup then the numbered folders are prefixed with a system name.

Avid MediaFiles/MXF/Avid01.1
Avid MediaFiles/MXF/Avid01.2
etc.

I know I can manually rename my local numbered folders to be prefixed with the system name and it will still rebuild the msm flies.  Which is dandy.

BUT…. Is there a way to have Media Composer default to making the media folders prefixed with the system name on a local drive?  Hopefully something that would be one-and-done as opposed to having to recheck or run in Console every time I start up Media Composer?  



Thank you,
Jay
