moving storage folder to removable device

Question:

I tried to move the storage folder of OE 6.0 to a removable device (a USB Pen-Drive). Disapointed I figured out that OE don't allow this operation. The folder in the removable device is gray and no selection is possible. I am sure I can change a line in registry to make this work. The question is: what key, what line, what parameters? Can anybody help me?

Answer:

The problem with moving the store to a removeable device is the same problem faced when moving the store to a network device. Yes, you can change a line in the registry to do it, but because OE is so tied to the registry on the originating device, the results are not satisfactory. You will be totally unable to use websites in this way, and you are likely to find yourself repeatedly having to edit the registry to reset the path. I suggest you forget about that approach. http://www.insideoe.com/faqs/why.htm#network I know there are 3rd party utilities that can manage this. I know a TabletPC MVP who does this on her computer. I'll check with her on the details and get .
