Hi - Picking off something Dave said in the new Beta thread....

"As such, if it were me, I would install and run PowerHome from the
C: drive. I would have the pwrhome.ini file in c:\powerhome (the
write activity to this file is almost nothing. Once PowerHome is
configured, unless you're opening a bunch of windows and
moving/resizing them within PowerHome, nothing should really be
written to the INI file). The pwrhome.db and phlogs.db files I would
of course put on either the E: drive or the F: drive."

Sounds like a good idea - and thought others should be aware.-
Also - I haven't upgraded to the Beta yet, but I'm having trouble
finding the magic field where I tell PH where to look for those two
.db files (for me it would be in D:/powerhome - my non-SSD drive).

Thanks!

Jeff,

That would be in the pwrhome.ini file which is default located in the c:\powerhome directory. Open this in notepad and at the
very top you'll the [Database] section with DBF (DataBase File) and LOGDBF parameters. Just adjust the directory path for
where you would like the files to reside and you should be good to go.

Dave.
