[QUOTE="Kingfisher, post: 255956, member: 70145"] Well, I'm certainly no developer and it took me about a week of trying anything and everything before I had the now famous "lightbulb" moment :D As for locating the paths etc, (again, I'm no dev/software expert) is that not what the MediaPortalDirs.xml file is for in the installation folder? It certainly lists the locations of all the required folders for DB, thumbs, skins, plugins etc, and they are correct for Vista in my case. Again, hope this helps.... EDIT : I've just done a quick basic install of MP on my spare XP machine, and sure enough, the MediaPortalDirs.xml reports the correct directory locations under XP also. It also assigns a "Dir id" value to each directory, so I'm guessing this can be used to address each folder directly. [/QUOTE]
