I want Creo to open in L:\Projects\Creo_Files instead of C:/users\Me*\OneDrive\Documents

[jferguson4]

My problem seems a variation on the one queried by the OP.  I want Creo to open in L:\Projects\Creo_Files instead of C:/users\Me*\OneDrive\Documents.  I am able to make l:\Projects\Creo_files a working directory in the environmental section of the configuration options, but that doesn't do it. I tried making the L:\Projects\Creo_files a start directory as a Property in the shortcut in windows 11, but that didn't work either.

What should I do?

The way to control the starting working directory is to change it in the shortcut that you use to start creo.  Change the Start in: line to L:\Projects\Creo_files.  Copy the file path from file explore to ensure there are no mistakes.

As I posted above, I did that. I thought it would work but it doesn't.

I should add that there is no config.sup in my system which is a stand-alone fixed license.

What is your shortcut pointing to?  Some companies write their own wrappers that eventually kickoff creo.  Please share a screenshot similar to what @kdirth shared.

No company, stand-alone machine. I suspect problem is with OneDrive interecepting ProE's default start directory.  My guess is most other systems are on company networks which don't allow one-drive access. I'm going to kill it and see if that fixes problem. 

Thanks foir the thoughts.

My company uses OneDrive for everyone's documents.  I created a test Creo (7.0) shortcut and added the path to my documents (on OneDrive) and my starting working directory is the folder I pointed it to.

C:\Users\Kdirth\OneDrive - searsseating.com\Documents\CREO

that works if you want your files in a one drive directory. I don't.
