Re: VFP9 starts in a folder it creates instead of the HOME() folder
Hi Jürgen Thanks for that - in my case Tools~Options~File Locations showed *Default Directory as (Not Used)* but if I click on Modify I see Location of default directory as C:\Users\pauln\Documents\!Visual FoxPro Projects\ (greyed out) and the *Use default directory is unchecked*. So, if the default directory is (Not Used) why is VFP actually starting in that directory? Paul P.S.

RE: VFP9 starts in a folder it creates instead of the HOME() folder
Here is Woody's response in ASCII, instead of Base64: Check the setting of "home directory" as well as the setting of the additional checkbox. You'll find those in tools / options.

VFP9 starts in a folder it creates instead of the HOME() folder
Hi all I am setting up a new machine running Windows 11 Pro. I have installed VFP9, together with SP2, Hotfix 3 and other bits and pieces (e.g.XML Parser). I have CONFIG.FPW in the HOME() folder. When I start VFP, I expect the current folder to be the HOME() folder but in fact it is C:\Users\pauln\Documents\!Visual FoxPro Projects\ If I add RESOURCE = OFF to CONFIG.FPW, VFP starts in the HOME() folder as expected. Without RESOURCE = OFF If FOXUSER.DBF doesn't exist in C:\Users\pauln\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Visual FoxPro 9\, it is created there VFP starts in C:\Users\pauln\Documents\!Visual FoxPro Projects\(which is created if it doesn't already exist) I don't understand why this is happening - how and why is VFP deciding to create a new folder and default to that folder when starting? Is this normal behaviour (I don't think I have ever come across it before)?
