Ok... so after two years of having EPDM in-house... we're finally getting back around to setting it up and I'm trying to get my head back in the game.
I remember hearing at some point that it's not recommended to put Vault Views on a user's desktop... but I can't remember why or what the recommendation was on where to put it.
We're on Windows 7 now and installing the view for use by all users on the computer.
Can anyone shed some light on this one for me?
Personally I would not put it on the desktop as the path to is long, not to mention it changes from user to user and it's different on Windows 7 versus Windows XP. Could affect SolidWorks and it's ability to find files.
Windows 7:
C:\Users\JCapriotti\Desktop
Windows XP:
C:\Documents and Settings\JCapriotti\Desktop
I would put it at the root C: drive. That way it's easy for your users to find and browse to and the path will be the same for everyone. You can then create a shortcut to it on your desktop so it's easy to access from there as well.
