"My Documents" Folder

[guillembm]

I have a trouble with "My Documents" Folder on windows. During the time I've been trading with NT the size of the folder has grown too much

I tried to delete some folders belonging to some instruments that I already don't use but this crashes NT. For several configuration reasons I can't expand the size of the system partition folder.

One good solution would be to move the settings folders to a secondary partition that has enough space. Is this possible? THere is a key on the registry that allows me to change this?

Hello guillembm,

Can you please make sure NinjaTrader is shut down when you delete files in the (My) Documents-->NinjaTrader 7 folder.

Unfortunately it is not supported to relocate the NinjaTrader 7 folder - it needs to be in the (My) Documents folder. It is not supported to locate the (My) Documents folder on a network drive either.

My answer in this thread will show you 3 ways in which to do it.

Just changing the location of the folder was enough. It works!

I know. The 3 methods were presented as alternatives; not that one need to do them all.

I personally mount a partition in the folder. That way, if I need more space, I just expand that partition which contains NT data only. That also means that I can just zip the whole partition if I want to back it up, knowing that the only thing in there is going to be NT stuff.
