Delete unnecessary files paths from dialog box

JayG · August 25

Is there a way to delete old/unused file paths in the backup dialog box in Quicken Deluxe for Windows R63.21 Build 27.1.63.21?

Every time I change locations, the prior locations are still shown and the list continues to grow. I would like to edit the list to eliminate the ones I no longer need.

I am comfortable editing the registry if that is the only way. If editing the registry is the only way, I would suggest Quicken add a way to edit the list in an upcoming release.

The file you want to edit in notepad and remove the entries in "BackupPathX=" you no longer need is C:\[USER NAME]\AppData\Roaming\Quicken\config\QUSER.INI

Make sure to create a backup copy of it before editing, just in case.

Just out of curiosity, see what happens if you remove the space between "Jays" and "Quicken".

Q is old school, and REALLY prefers the 8.3 style formatting … where a space is a delimiter.

Try changing the space to a dash or an underscore or just combining the 2 words.
