WIndows assistance please

[KeithOBX (Keith Dibley)]

Hi - WIndows 10 system. My C: drive was near full. I moved my C:|USER\MYNAME to my D: drive - now my Lightburn is still looking for config files in C:

How can I modify the CONFIG file to now look to the D: directory structure please?

TIA for any assistance.

I moved my C:|USER\MYNAME to my D: drive - now my Lightburn is still looking for config files in C:

How exactly did you do this? Did you change the location of Windows %LOCALAPPDATA% and other variables as well?

[KeithOBX (Keith Dibley)]

I used XCOPY (xcopy c:\users\keith d:\users\keith /v/s/e/k/h/c) to transfer over all the contents of C:\USER\KEITH (and all sub directories) over from C drive to D drive (my C was nearly full). RUN %HOMEPAGE% to relocate The user directories within windows itself. When I start LIGHTBURN now (it starts OK) I get the message "Library Load Failed - with a path showing my old C: directory)

I assume there is a config file I can update to reflect the new location of D: drive

Library Load Failed

In that case it looks like the prefs folder is already being properly referenced.

Then it’s just a matter of relocating the existing library files.

Try resolving with one of these methods:

1. Temporarily copy the library file to the previous location. Then unload the library, delete the temp library, load library from new location.
2. Edit prefs.ini file, edit or remove entries for the specific libraries in question. This is riskier if you get something wrong. If you’re not familiar with editing json files then I’d recommend not going down this path unless you’re willing to take the risk and want to learn something new. In that case, take a backup before proceeding.

I edited the prefs.ini file. Made the change from C: to D: throughout - works like a charm now - thanks for your assistance
