Knowledge Base
Changing the location of the settings, cache files and snippets folders
Category: How do I?
Date: 19 Nov 2008
Product: SQL Prompt
Versions: 3.6+
You can change the location of SQL Prompt's settings, cache files and snippets folder so that they aren't stored in your User Profile.
You can define the storage folders for these options by creating a registry key called "\\HKCU\Software\Red Gate\SQL Prompt 3" You can then define string values called:
"Options Folder"
"Cache Folder"
"Snippets Folder"
These should all be strings set to the location where you'd like your settings stored.
