Can't change configuration folder in FreeCommander XE
Posted: 10.01.2016, 18:48
Hi Folks,
I'm using FreeCommander XE 2015 Build 685 32-bit public on Windows 10. I'd like to change the location of the configuration folder so that I can use the same settings under 2 different accounts, one general purpose, one admin. So far, I haven't been able to do this.
When I go to Tools | Settings | Start program | Configuration folder, the options are grayed out. A message there says "You can change the option only if the install folder and the file fcStart.ini are writeable". But I haven't been able to give that any sensible interpretation. I can't find any file called "fcStart.ini" anywhere and all the folders having to do with FreeCommander XE are writeable by admin, which is the account from which I'm trying to make this change.
I saw one discussion in the Forum history that was somewhat related but did not point to a solution. There was no issue of the selection options being grayed out.
Wondering if the option to change the location of the Configuration Folder is not supported in the non-donor version. But any relevant info. would be apreciated.
Regards,
Jed
