I just installed Windows 7 with WLM.

because I already have a mailbox folder used in Outlook express,
I try to change WLM's store location to drive D:

I found exact menu but when I select drive D, the 'ok' button doesn't work.
but if I choose in drive C, it started moving files to folder in drive C.

how can I change store location to another drive ?

Thanks for your kindly help.

The folder on drive D: should be a newly created blank subfolder on Windows 7, where you have full write permission.

You don't mention what drive D is. different drive, separate partition,
removable?
The drive must always be available.
Have you rebooted since the Registry change?
