Long story short, I recently had to reinstall DVD Profiler, and noticed that upon restoring my backup all of the cover images and database files are dumped into the general 'Documents' folder.  Has this always been the case and I never noticed it, or have I missed something when reinstalling the program to tell it to put those files into the DVD Profile subfolder?  I really don't want those files (including all the high res cover images) just hanging out willy nilly in my documents folder.  I appreciate any thoughts/information regarding this.  Cheers!!

Minor update:  Upon further investigation...it is putting the files in the DVD Profiler subfolders AND the main Documents folder.

Programs can no longer store data files in the Program Files directory, since Windows Vista.  The default location is inside your My Documents folder, but you can select any directory you have access to via File->Open Database, New Database.

The files ARE in the My Documents, in fact there is a DVD Profiler subfolder with subfolders...and the files are being stored there...but then each file is also listed in the main My Documents folder...it is showing each file in two different places.

Ahh, nevermind...further research is telling me that this is a ridiculous feature of Windows 7...and not something caused by DVD Profiler.  Thanks for the initial information.
