Buried

[Anonymous]

Can I just say how ridiculous I think it is that LT2004 Buries the default
drawing template files folder (along with others) in a location that is so
far down the
directory tree that it is almost impossible to find, or hazardous, because
if you take a wrong turning you end up finding nothing and become
frustrated.
It does not help that there is and almost identical, but not the same, path
to other support files.

I don't see what was wrong with having them near the program files as they
used to be.

Regards

Paul,

User customizable files are required to be placed under the user accounts
for Windows logo compliance. If they were stored under the install directory
of Program Files they would require Administrator or Power User rights to
modify them. You can always move them to wherever you want, then set your
support file paths to that location.
