I don't want programs on my C: drive. I keep that for the OS only so I can keep an image and do an easy restore. I install programs on a separate logical drive and keep my program data on a 3rd drive so I can back that up fast. I've been wasting my time editing all the registry entries OO did to point it in the right direction - where I manually moved it. I consider this a showstopper for windows people and will not be recommending OO to them. I've used linux for the last 5 years and cannot remember hitting the same wall with any other windows application when I was using windows since maybe Win95 first came out. Every other program allows the user to choose the directory where it should be installed. And to not find this option in OO much stunned me. Please don't copy bad Windows programming. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
