In the web/ directory of the installation. In a Mac app bundle you'll
find that in Contents/Resources (right-click the bundle, and select
Show Package Contents).
You shouldn't need to modify the setting on a desktop installation -
but having said that, I don't actually see drives listed on my Windows
installation, only the folders at C:\. Ashesh; is there a Windows
issue here?
On Mac, there are no drives of course so it works fine here.
