User Directory
Location of the HippoEDIT user data directory depends on installation type you have selected:
- for Portable it equals installation directory,
- for Current user should be in %AppData%\HippoEDIT for current user,
- for All users should be in All Users\Application Data\HippoEDIT.
Current location of the user directory can be found in About Box (everything before \data):
How to change User Directory path
In general changing of the User Directory location is only possible during of initial installation. If you do not like that your data is stored on in one of the standard user data folders (%AppData% or All Users\Application Data) it is recommended to select Portable type of the installation and place as binary as data files in desired directory.
But in case you have already done the installation, or for some reason you do not want to put binaries and data files in same directory, but still want to have your data files in specific directory there is standard Window way → use Junction or Soft Links (only for NTFS file system).
