Using XP Home.
Quicken is installed at C:\Program Files\Quicken. I currently back up to L:\Quicken Backup L:\ is an extrenal hard drive. Previously, for a short time, I backed up to O:\Quicken O:\ is a thumb drive.
When I load Quicken or save a file, Quicken accesses the O:\ drive which is very slow. Yes, the file is backed up to the L:\ drive
None of the data files are located on C:\
How can I eliminate accessing the O:\ drive without causing problems?
Your help will be appreciated.

Copy the data from the O:\ drive to your desired location. I usually copy the entire Quicken folder including the \Backup folder. Then open Quicken. It will remember the last file opened which currently is the O drive. Now use the File>>Open option to open the Q file that is on the new location.
For your next backup, change the location by using the File>>backup option. Change the location by hitting the Browse button.
Sorry, I hit the send button too quickly :(
Your instructions were concisely written and again very much appreciated.
Thanks for your help . . . now I can use Quicken without staring at the monitor so much.
