change archive folder problem

[jackyl]

Hello guys, I am new here and after searching the posts I did not find a solution to my problem. basically I need to set my hm archive fold to a different drive (instead of C:\HMArchive). So I went to OPTIONS--CONFIGURE AUTO IMPORT--EDIT, and change the directory for ''archive folder''. but hm is still storing files in that old folder of C:\HMArchive, instead of the H:\HMArchive folder, which I reset.

One thing I noticed is that the directory for "archive folder" is in grey color. does that mean I cannot reset this directory, or there is setting I need to change first to enable this archive directory (make it in the normal black color) before I can change the archive folder? thanks.

It's normal the location of the archive folder appears "greyed out".
Just click on Select of the archive folder--> select a different folder (H:/HMArchive)--> OK--> SAVE

thanks, pat. unfortunately even after my UAC is turned off yesterday, it still does not work. all the hh files today still got achived to the old C:\HMArchive folder. I checked the HM setting and the UAC setting again, both of which have been set correctly already.

Are there any other settings in the HM software I need to change as well?? thanks.

Try manually editing:

HoldemManager/Config/holdemmanager.config
(open the file with Notepad and manually change C:/\hmArchive to H:/HMArchive)

---

If that fails. Rightclick on holdemmanager.config file --> properties and make sure it has the attribute read-only turned off.

If that still doesn't resolve it, reinstall HoldemManager with the full installer @ http://www.holdemmanager.com/Downloads/Holdem_Manager_Setup.exe
(install it to a new location (for example also on H:/ drive), run it from the new location, and try changing the archive folder again)

I manually changed the config file and it WORKS now! Thanks a lot!!!

When I open the config file, those archive folders inside the autoimportfolderlist are still the old C:\HMArchive, like the following line:

setting name="AutoImportFolderList"
...
Local\PokerStars\HandHistory,True,True,C:\HMArchiv e
... //I have a few poker sites, so this is one of the lines listed

the only part that my change of C:\HMArchive to H:\HMArchive is reflected locates in the line right after the above code, which is:

...
setting name="LastArchiveFolder">H:\HMArchive
...

SO, I manually change all the field C:\HMArchive to H:\HMArchive. and it works! bravo. thanks man.
