Hi,
I have a little problem.
On my Netbook WinXP MT5 saves everything in my installations folder.
On my Win7 computer my installations folder is D and it takes up to 22,9MB.
After I tested, downloaded and coded I checked the installations folder it is still 22,9MB.
After looking around I found in the Roaming folder a folder MetaQuotes which had 4GB on my drive C.
I dont want MT5 copying anything on my C drive.
So what I did.
uninstalled MT5
deleted the MetaQuote folde from C
deleted the registry with regedit
copied the MT5 folder from my netbook
startet the copied MT5 from my Win7 computer
it still saved the history on the roaming folder on C.
How do I change that?
I don't want any programm saving anything on my drive C.
Why does it work with the netbook and not with my Win7 computer?

Awesome, thanks for that.
And I hope you will help us build up our MT section here on the site. There are quite a few MetaTrader users, but it's always tough to start a new section. So your help is appreciated!
