 I would like to have my sync folder on a different partition (default is
C:\documents and settings\...). How can I change the folder?

Thank you
Thomas

Hi Thomas,

With 4.x version the entire folder path information is not stored in the
registry like 3.x which allowed you to redirect the folder location. It
only places it as "\<device name> My Documents" and preceeds the path with
the My Document variable setting (%UserProfile%\My Documents). So whatever
path you specify, it will always be under My Documents folder irrespective
of the device OS.
