Apps don't use new external SD card for data

When I setup my A100 (running the ICS OTA update), I didn't have an SD card installed. It created it's own "fake" sdcard which applications use.

Now that I've added a real external sdcard, I can't get the applications to use that for their data instead of the "fake" location.

I've copied everything from the "fake" location to the new sdcard.

I suspect the problem is that the new, real sd card is called "external_sd" and the old, "fake" location is called "sdcard".

How can I fix this? Do I need to reinstall those applications?

Note please that I am NOT trying to move applications to the external SD card; I just wants apps that normally store data there to do so instead of in the "fake" location.

Also, I am not rooted.

Try ES File Explorer
Head to settings> Directory Setting >Home directory > change from "/storage" to "/storage/(name of your external SD Card)

Hope that helps!
:)
