if you open a command window and type set HOME=c:\home it will only work temporarily
you probably need to add the line set HOME=c:\home to autoexec.bat for it to be permanent In theory i think c:\windows\Profiles\username\Application Data\ or c:\windows\Application Data\ are where Microsoft expects applications to put this kind of information (but if you try that the spaces in the filenames might cause problems) i think maybe there are some registry variables dia could lookup instead of using the HOME variable from the shell. I have been meaning to look it up and submit a patch ... but then there are lots of things i have been meaning to do but never get around to Sincerely Alan On 6 Feb 2002, sartajsingh wrote: > > but I really dont have a "home" directory . its says set to valid directory or existing directory. can I set it to ANY existing any without worring about the path.
