BOINC seems to keep all the project data files in c:\\program files\\BOINC\\projects.... I have a much bigger (and faster) D: drive I'd prefer that BOINC use, but cannot find a setting to specify an alternate folder. Is there a way to make BOINC use a different drive? How? |

BOINC seems to keep all the project data files in c:\\program files\\BOINC\\projects.... Boinc needs the project executable and data folders to be inside the Boinc folder itself. What you can do is install Boinc to a different drive. Download the Boinc manager, the current recommended version is 5.4.9. Exit Boinc (file menu - exit) Uninstall Boinc from the Control Panel - Add and Remove program list. The Boinc folder and sub-folders will be preserved. Move the entire folder from C:\\program files\\BOINC to D:\\BOINC Re-install Boinc - redirecting the install to D:\\BOINC All your data and project attachment should be as it was and WU will continue crunching were it left off.
