Hi @all,

I'd like to change my user files folder, but

a) the menu-item tools-> change user files folder does't exist in my version. (Got this from http://www.originlab.de/www/helponline/Origin/de/UserGuide/The_User_Files_Folder.html)
b) I cannot find the registry entries that are mentioned in the Origin help under 'The "User Files" Folder'.

Thanks in advance,
Stefan Bollmann

That menu option is only available since Origin 8.1, and the online help document is for the latest version of Origin 8.5. So you couldn't find the menu option in Origin 8. There is an easy way to change your User Files Folder and do not need to delete the current one. The following is the steps.

1. Close Origin 8.
2. Find current User Files Folder and rename it to another name.
3. Start Origin and then it will bring up a dialog to ask you to reset the User Files Folder.
