Toad for SAP Solutions 4.2 stores settings files in the user's Application Data directory. The default location cannot be modified from within the application. Toad provides two methods to change the default location: by using a Registry setting or by using a command switch in a Toad shortcut.
Use the Registry setting method to change the application data directory from Roaming to Local. Use the command switch method to change the location to any new path.
To change Toad Application Data directory location from Roaming to Local
In the Registry under Toad for SAP Solutions (Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Quest Software\Toad for SAP Solutions\ 4.2), add LOCALSETTINGS with a value of 1.
See the following table for default (Roaming) and resulting (Local) directory path.
Caution: All current Toad settings will be lost after applying this Registry setting unless you manually copy the settings files from the default location (Roaming directory) to the new location (Local directory). Copy the settings files BEFORE you add the Registry setting and BEFORE opening Toad.
Operating System |
Default Location | New Location when LOCALSETTINGS = 1 |
---|---|---|
Windows Server 2008 Windows 7 Windows 8 Windows 10 Windows 11 |
C:\Users\username\ AppData\Roaming\Quest Software\Toad for SAP Solutions 4.2 |
C:\Users\username\ AppData\Local\Quest Software\ Toad for SAP Solutions 4.2 |
To change Toad Application Data directory location using a command-line switch
You can override the default Application Data directory by running Toad with the command switch:
Toad.exe --datadir="YourNewDirPath"
To instruct Toad to always use the new directory path, add the command switch and the new directory path to a Toad desktop shortcut. Then use the desktop shortcut when opening Toad.
