Rumba 9.4 Default Script Location

Hi Bryan,

unfortunately the default folder for scripts can not be changed to point to a different location without also moving the location for the other user data files.

The location is controlled by a couple of registry keys, located in the following registry hive
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\SOFTWARE\\WallData\\Office (or HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\SOFTWARE\\Wow6432Node\\WallData\\Office on Windows 64-bit).

1. Key Name TYPE Value
CustomizedDir DWORD 0 This tells RUMBA to use the default User Data and App Data folders
CustomizedDir DWORD 1 This tells RUMBA that the User Data and/or the App Data folder are using non-default locations.

2. PrivateDir String "xxxxxxx" This tell RUMBA to look in the "xxxxxxx" folder for user data when CustomizedDir = 1

3. InterfacePrivateDir String "xxxxxxx" This tell RUMBA to look in the "xxxxxxx" folder for application data when CustomizedDir = 1

The default scripts folder is [PrivateDir]\\scripts

However, I would strongly advise against modifying the above registry keys, doing so is the task of the product owner\\desktop admins and is not appropriate in your scenario.

What I would do is map a virtual drive (in windows explorer) to point to the folder which you use to store your scripts, (if your folder was local you could use a subst command to map a virtual drive) then you can get to your scripts folder quickly.

So when you open the "File Open" or "Save As" dialog, you can simply type your drive letter and a ":", then hit enter to get to your personal scripts folder.
e.g. if you map your personal scripts folder to drive m, type m: in the "File name" field and press the Enter key, this should bring you to your personal scripts folder.
