ok, so how the heck do I change the data folder location... tried the change on restart. Nothing changes or offers to change. I love NB until I upgrade. Always a PITA

Easiest way is to:
1 - Move the data folder to a new location.
2 - Using Wordpad, edit the NBI file (which I hope is in the data folder) changing all the paths to match the new data folder location (should just be one path but it depends on your setup). This is a good time to make a backup copy of the NBI file too.
3 - Double-click the NBI in the new location to register it with Newsbin.
This won't actually work with 6.60 but will with the 6.61 beta and prior versions. If you're not running the current beta. I'd install it first before doing this.
