How to change data directory?

Hi, I have installed the BOINC agent on a Windows XP machine. Now I want to change the directory where BOINC stores it's data (not where BOINC is installed itself). How can this be done? TNX

Re: How to change data directory?

Thank you, but isn't there a way without uninstalling and reinstalling BOINC?

Re: How to change data directory?

Uninstalling / Reinstalling takes few minutes including precautionary data dir backup. If you want to do it manually, follow the link in that thread to http://boincfaq.mundayweb.com/index.php?view=292 .

Pull the internet connection plug until mission completed and things are running again.
