Friends, if this would be true, I would have crashes all over the day. My habit is to separate programs and date since the beginning of computer time (against the Von Neumann principle). Programs are installed on H: and data are in D: (business stuff), E: (projects) and G: (media). Well physically these partitions are on the same hard drive - but imho FM could not recognise this. I even move programs installed on C: which are not system to another location - this can not be done with FM any more since version 10 due to an installation data base bypassing registry and ini files. So I'm sceptical about the statement of the Adobe technician. Can anyone confirm my view? Or - are the "data files" what i call files in the user area (aka Documents and Settings) ? These are set up by the system to be located on C: Klaus Daube ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Docu + Design Daube; Sch?racher 11; CH-8053 Z?rich Technical documentation & consultancy; On-line and paper F: +41-44-422 86 25 E: ddd at daube.ch W: www.daube.ch
