Junior Member Customers Gamma GenoPro version: 3.0.1.0 Last Login: Saturday, February 18, 2017 Posts: 16, Visits: 32	Hi All, I have many genograms and store these files in a folder (directory) on my C: drive. The path is C:\Data\Genopro. I need to change the directory path to > U:\Data\Genopro but I can't find out how to do this. It becomes a problem because when I go to Open a file from the File Menu or use the Open Icon, it defaults to the C:\Data\Genopro path. It also automatically saves a new genogram to the default directory. Currently I have to ensure I travel to the correct directory each and every time I open or save a file. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Blaine

There might be a problem if you are using some form of external memory - U sounds like a memory stick. Certainly all my files are on a separate drive & directory and the program defaults there automaticlly . It just remembers what I did last time.

If you don't know how to use the Registry Editor, you may use the installer to write the value for you. See http://www.genopro.com/setup/command-line/ for details.

When I go to the "File" Menu, I get a list of the 9 most recent files and their directory. And if I go to "Open" from the file menu (or use the "Open" icon), it defaults to the "My Documents" folder now. Something I do not want! I have Windows Explorer defaulting to my C:\Data directory rather than "My Documents" and that could be the issue? I did some playing around and now it goes to "My Documents". It was defaulting to the C:\ directory before. So it is picking up information somewhere? I'm going to try GenoProSupport's idea next. Thanks to both of you. I'll let you know what works :-) Blaine
