I am doing a new install on a new system.

Following the Instructions I have downloaded and installed the program on the C:\ partitin of the drive.
I changed where the Data Files are stored to another partition on the same drive (D:\ drive partition) per the instructions. I did so by going into General Settings>*Paths. Changed it via the browse button. When I was in the window I say the Market Depth Data Path but the instructions did not say to change this path also. Should I do so as I would want all data to be saved and stored on the other partition and not the C:\ partition which I want to reserve for programs only? Or must it remain as configured on the install.

And I would like to confirm there is no other path to change to complete this process?

Thanks.

Make sure the option for "Global Settings >> General Settings >> Paths >> Always Use 'Data' Folder Within Main Folder" is set to "No", or changing the path for the data folder will not matter.

And yes, you should also change the folder for the Market Depth Data.

Where you store the images is up to you, but if you save a lot of images, then it would make sense to also point this to your D: drive somewhere.

Thanks John and for the additional info on the images. I currently do not save many images, but if I do start to do so I will copy the ones I have over to another folder and change the path.
