    Defaulting to removable drive

    The first time I used dbpoweramp to convert some music it was to a removable drive (L Drive on PC), after buying it now, every time I start the app and try to convert some music it is looking for the removable drive, and takes multiple clicks of continue to move past it. How can I set the default location to something else please?

        Open registry editor:

        HKEY_CURRENT_USER >> Software >> Illustrate >> LastAccessedFolder

        remove this or change to a location you would like. Normally this item is updated each time you run the program, so perhaps dBpoweramp no longer is able to write to the registry.

          Thank you Spoon.....Did that, open dbpoweramp, select files to convert and guess what? Yes, once again it looks for the removable drive once again. In fact I removed it a few times, rebooted, same result. The fact one even needs to go into registry edit to 'fix' what should be a preference setting in the app itself is somewhat crazy to me. Any other ideas please?

            Also, from what I can tell, this is just the last folder the app accessed to convert, not the last folder it converted to....
