Change data source
Tech-Archive recommends: Speed Up your PC by fixing your registry
Date: Fri, 13 Aug 2004 12:19:26 -0700
My Google-fu has deserted me today. I remember a while back seeing
something about changing the default folder from "My Data Sources" to
whatever by a registry hack. I have just wasted several hours trying to
find the appropriate reg key and searching for any reference thereto on
the web and usenet.
I'm stumped. Does anyone here have any idea how to do this?
Thanx and happy Friday the 13th.
