Using XYplorer with 2 different user home directories?

[zBernie]

Is it possible to use XYplorer and the same configuration file on two different computers for which there are different user names? For example my PC's home directory is C:\Users\bernie and my laptop is C:\Users\zbern. Maybe with a symlink? Or maybe XYplorer would utilize an environment variable?

Actually what I did was save a configuration file from my PC then changed all 431 references from bernie to zbern and saved it as my laptop config file. Then loaded it into XYplorer on the laptop.

See my answer below as to how I handled the configurations between the two computers with two users having different home directories.

Hardcoded references? Can you be a bit more specific what references you did change? XYplorer supports %USERNAME%...

For example the .ini file contains the following hard coded path:

StartPath=C:\Users\zbern\OneDrive\Documents\


Are you saying that I could replace zbern with %USERNAME% like:

StartPath=C:\Users\%USERNAME%\OneDrive\Documents\


That would be fantastic!

Ofc you can do that

Nice!

Is there a way to implement the %USERNAME% variable from XYplorer, or should I just change the references in the .ini file?

It doesn't matter if you do it via the gui or an .ini file change
