Moving Your User Folder to a Different Location
With NYC v5.63 and higher, your NYC user folder no longer need be located under your NYC folder. It is easy now to move your user folder to any location on the same hard drive using NYC Tools… Options…. With a little more effort, you can even move it to another hard drive.
Moving the User
Folder to New Location on the Same Drive:
1. Select Tools… Options… User Folder tab.
2. Type the full path to a new folder to become your user folder (e.g., c:\My Documents\NYC).
3. Press the Save button.
Moving the User
Folder to a Location on a Different Drive:
1. Move the user folder manually using File Explorer outside of NYC (copy-paste or drag-drop the entire folder).
2. Using a text editor, edit the ‘nyc.usr’ file in your new user folder and change its first line to the new user folder.
3. Using a text editor, edit the ‘nyc.ini’ file in your new user folder and update any references to your old user folder.
4. If necessary, you can later change the location on the drive using the NYC Tools… Options… User Folder tab.
We recommend that all user files, including cookbooks, reside in your user folder so that all your cookbooks are included in the following operations:
- backing up the user folder
- moving the user folder
- searching across cookbooks (in the open cookbook’s folder)
