Last month I was forced to change my work system, and the new PC came with a preinstalled user, "HP". I installed Studio 2019 (and most of my other software), then belatedly jumped through the hoops required to change the user name to "dan". Now my documents folder is "C:\Users\dan\Documents" which means that (for example) the default location for dropped files is "C:\Users\dan\Documents\Studio 2019\Projects\DropFiles".

This change to the user seems to have confused Studio 2019 - I say "seems" because I am not sure and I remain open to alternative suggestions as to the cause - and projects no longer appear in the Studio project list. All my ongoing projects reside in a certain folder that is not in the "C:\Users\dan\" path. I can create and save projects to this location as usual, and work without any problems. If I quit Studio and restart, the projects on which I have recently worked do not appear in the list. If I click on Open Project and browse to the required location I can open the project as normal. The project remains there for as long as Studio is running, but it disappears if I restart Studio. That quirk aside, everything works as normal.

This is, therefore, a minor inconvenience but it should not be happening. I am guessing that Studio maintains a registry entry or an .xml configuration file somewhere that specifies the default location for a list of recent projects or projects database, and that when I changed the name of the Windows user I broke the association in some way.

Can anybody provide advice on how to remedy the situation?

Thanks,

Dan
