[GNC] Saved Reports Location Question

"Subject: Re: [GNC] Saved Reports Location Question
I'm pretty sure those locations are hard coded."

Well, obviously it is NOT "hard coded" cause I've been using my dropbox box
location on my Windows desktop for saved reports for years on both of my
laptops, and it still works on 1 laptop, the issue I'm having is the other
laptop where I had to reinstall Windows. And anyway, there's the whole
section in the help manual re changing the default location.  I'm just not
getting it to work on the 1 laptop in question, assuming I'm doing it right
(as I stated earlier, this is really above my "paygrade", I'm just trying
to get my gnucash install the way it was before...)...
