Location of lists and settings...

by ghoti @
I don't want the Binary Boy folder in My Documents. I would like my lists and setting files to be stored in the \Program Files\Binary Boy\ folder. I don't see a way to change this in the settings area... is there a way?

I am using 1.93 build 1.

Thanks,
-Ghoti

You can change the paths in the registry. Run regedit.exe from Start | Run and go here:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Hochsw\BinaryBoy\1.00

Look for the key names containing "Folder" like FoldersFolder, GroupListFolder, HistoryFolder, LogFolder, QueueFolder, ScheduleFolder, TwitsFolder, XMLFolder

You can use either a full path directly or also use macros like $(MyDocuments) or $(ExePath). For a list of macros you can use, see Help | Help Contents | Settings | Macros.

You can ignore the keys with a T on the end like GroupListFolderT. They are created automatically.

P.S. Vista doesn't allow apps to write to the Program Files folder so only point there if you're not running Vista.
