2/ Click the Tools option on the
main toolbar.

Click Options.
4/ In the Options Window, Click
the Advanced Tab.
5/ In the Advanced Tab window,
Click the Maintenance Button.

Click the Store Folder button.
7/ When the
Store Location window appears, Click the
Change button.
8/ The Browse Folder window will
now appear. Select the Folder or Drive
that you want to change the location to and then
Press the OK button. If a folder
doesn't exist where you want to move the files to,
you can always create a folder by clicking the
Make new Folder button.

appear in the Store Location window.
To complete the job, Press the OK
button.
10/ Files will not be copied to the new store
location until after you have closed down Windows
