Hi, is it possible to change the database from "C:\ProgramData\SoftPerfect\NetWorx\" to another folder?
I am using a different partition to store all my data, and I will be very happy if I can put the database (3 files) on this partition in its own folder. Sometimes I have to reload an image of my Windows partition, and I often forget to make a backup of the database.

Yes, it's possible to change the database location. There are two ways to do so:
- Quit running NetWorx and launch it again as administrator. Then go to the Hidden Settings and enter the new path under Database location.
- Alternatively, use a symbolic link to redirect the folder to another location. This method can be used for any program to redirect a folder to a different location.
- Quit NetWorx to close the database
- Move C:\ProgramData\SoftPerfect\NetWorx to a desired location.
- Launch a command prompt as administrator and type
mklink /D C:\ProgramData\SoftPerfect\NetWorx D:\YourNewLocation\NetWorx

Sorry to bump an old thread, but I have a question regarding "Method 1" above:
By changing "Database location" in hidden options, will Networx move the database for me? Or do I have to move the database manually before launching Networx? If I have to manually relocate the database beforehand, what about the brief interval between starting Networx and setting "Database location" to point to the new location? I'm asking because I guess there might be a danger of manually relocated database being overwritten after setting "Database location".
Thanks!
