Winboard Ini file

I have installed Winboard onto a new computer and my file setup is slightly different.
Instead of all the Winboard engines being in the directory C:\Winboard, they are now in C:\Documents and Settings\Daz\Winboard.
e.g.
"Olithink -H 32" /fd=C:\Documents and Settings\Daz\Winboard\Olithink
Problem is, Winboard doesn't seem to like this change and refuses to boot any engine up; I also tried substituting "Docume~" for "Docuements and settings" but to no avail.
I didn't think there was a restriction on how a path was written - or is there?
regards,
Darren

It is possible that there is a problem with the empty spaces
in the path.

Hello Darren,
You should write Docume~1
Documents and Settings is Docume~1 and not Docume~
I also use the name with 8 digits and not the Windows name and I haven't problems. You can see the name with the option dir/x and you can see the name of your folder with 8 names.
Has a good day.
Best wishes
Claude
