Edit the startup.ini file in
C:\Program Files\XYplorer to have this contents:
Code: Select all
[Appdata]
Path=%appdata%\XYplorer64
Assuming you use the default config folder, then
File | Restart without Saving

Create the file then, and put that contents in it, afterwards make sure you restart without saving settings.
Your old config should still be in %appdata%\XYplorer64 ?
or did you manually move it to "C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Programs\XYplorer64" before any of this happened?

Then use this contents:
Code: Select all
[Appdata]
Path=%LOCALAPPDATA%\Programs\XYplorer64
If your old config is still there.

It is unable to pick this location.
It starts with evaluation which is not intended.

With XY running use this menu item:
File | Settings Special | Load Configuration...
then navigate to where your old config is and pick the XYplorer.ini
then if everything loads how it was before, put wherever that path is (of the Xyplorer.ini) in the startup ini in the <xypath> folder you can just put it is as a full path like: C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Programs\XYplorer64

I did the same and still its routing to another default path.
