Rescue Disk Creation and download folder
« on: October 26, 2013, 04:49:19 PM »
Curious to know if there is a way to change the download location of the AvastPEToolkit?

While creating a rescue disk (in my case, rescue USB), the file is automatically downloaded to My Documents. Why is this? Why not allow the user to choose the location and/or default to the user Downloads folder? Or, am I just not seeing it?

The reason I ask is that I have backups and syncs setup both to the cloud and a portable drive which both include my Documents folder. This causes an automatic sync to both which I really don't want.

Currently, the download is at 924MB and climbing.

Thanks

Thanks Asyn, but I am talking about the Windows PE toolkit which is downloaded to MyDocuments and installed. This is installed before the rescue disk can be created. It gives no option to change the download location of this. Why would they choose this as the default folder to download this to? Look at the size of it.
