I plan to move my BOINC data directory from my C: drive to a different physical drive (same computer).  From a post in the BOINC forums, it looks like I'll need to uninstall BOINC, move the data directory, then reinstall BOINC and chose the new data directory during installation.

Will it be enough to shut Tthrottle down duing the uninstall and reinstall of BOINC, then start it up again and it will automatically pick up the new data directory?  Or will I also need to uninstall and reinstall Tthrottle, or do something else to point it to the new location of BOINC's data?

Thanks for a very useful program!

If you are running in with "Connect with BOINC client" in the BOINC tab, it should be no problem.
Otherwise you may need to restart TThrottle.
No uninstall required.
