What did you do, unpacked the portable version into C:\Program Files (x86)\XYplorer?

You need a Startup.ini file that tells XY where the data folder should be:

So create the file "Startup.ini" in "C:\Program Files (x86)\XYplorer"
and fill it with this content:

Code: Select all

[Appdata]
Path=%appdata%\XYplorer

What a strange idea to install it this way.
He will only have access to "C:\Program Files (x86)\XYplorer" running XY as admin.
