Never really cared for the If...Then...Else construction.
Concatenating this thread is it preferable to change startup.ini to C:\Program Files\XYplorer\Data\ and put XYplorer.ini there?

Yes, it's preferable to what you have now.
So what you do now is:
1) you open XYplorer
2) you
move these items (the first four are folders) from C:\Program Files\XYplorer\ to C:\Program Files\XYplorer\Data\:
FindTemplates
NewItems
Panes
Scripts
catalog.dat
fvs.dat
ks.dat
lastini.dat
tag.dat
udc.dat
XYplorer.ini
Overwrite anything in C:\Program Files\XYplorer\Data\ if prompted.
3) Then you edit C:\Program Files\XYplorer\Startup.ini like this (sic: empty value):
4) Then you close XYplorer
without Saving.
5) Restart XYplorer.
That should be it.

What about
action.dat and
CatalogDefault.dat? What are the proper places for these? Just wanted to get it documented here...

Seems pretty heavy duty but will try in attempt to preclude future difficulties - knock on Formica.
How did installation get tangled up? (Hypothesis: at some point switched between Install and Portable upgrade packages.)

Whoops, yes action.dat too. CatalogDefault.dat no, it stays in app path (it is never modified).

"Go to Application Data folder" doesn't - following Don's instructions on altering application folder structure IT DOE'S NOW.
BTW - Had to use Configuration|Thumbnails to alter that path after changes.

Oh yes, good find. This path should have been defined in a softer way by factory default. Fixed in next version.
