Problem on Palm Desktop runing on USB hard drive

Question

Two days ago, I rset the data path of Palm Desktop from local C: drive to portable hard drive H:. I check data has transferred to H: drive correctly and Palm Desktop is found to work properly.
After the computer was powered off and switched on again, I run the Palm Desktop and it prompt up a windows of  title "User" and requesting me to "Select a user", whereas the user list or profile list is empty. Artificially, I add a new user "test" and continue the Palm Deskto operation. As expected, the new user has no data inside and the "Data directory" is reset to "C:\Documents and Settings\...." by the programme.
Aslo, the original Palm data in H drive is intace.  How can I run correctly with my Desktop on portable hard dirve H:?

Answer 1

What OS on the PC? What version of Palm Desktop? Need this to attempt to replicate your issue.
It sounds like you are using Desktop 6.2 which stores it's data in the Documents folder on the PC under  a folder Palm OS Desktop. You can change the location of the program install to another drive but the program is still going to default to looking for user data in the documents folder.
