====== Moving HippoEDIT ======

HippoEDIT files consist of two parts:
  * Binary files, that are executable, DLLs, and plugins, which are located in [[options:installation-directory|installation directory]] (normally in Program Files folder, or in the directory, you have chosen during installation).
  * Data files, which are located in the [[options:user_directory|user directory]]. 

The most of the configuration data is stored in files in [[options:user_directory|user directory]], and [[options:general:portable|very few things are in registry]]. Your license information is also stored in [[options:user_directory|user directory]].

So, potentially, if you want to move HippoEDIT to a different drive you need to copy both mentioned directories. [[options:installation-directory|Installation directory]] can be copied in any place, user directory may be located only in %APPDATA% folder or inside of installation folder. 
In addition, you will need to register shell extension and libraries, as following: 
  - Run cmd.exe in Administrator mode
  - Change directory (//cd//) to new HippoEDIT [[options:installation-directory|install directory]]
  - execute hippoedit.exe /Register
  - execute regsvr32 ShellReg.dll

<note tip>The easiest way to move HippoEDIT: copy [[options:user_directory|user directory]], uninstall/reinstall HippoEDIT in new location, copy old [[options:user_directory|user directory]] content into new user directory.</note>
