The Home Folder

This document applies to: NewsRoom 5 Remote

and NewsRoom 5 Standard

1. Home folder

The Home folder contains the user data files for the program.

* The structure of the Home folder is identical for both NewsRoom Remote and NewsRoom Standard. The Remote and Standard versions of NewsRoom do not share any data files. They have their own copies of all databases and settings files. Both programs can be installed at the same time. You should not run both programs at the same time because one cast server can operate on a computer at a time. This document uses NewsRoom Remote 5 as the example for documentation purposes. For NewsRoom Standard adjust your paths accordingly.

The base path for NewsRoom Remote 5 is:

C:\ProgramData\NewsRoom4\Users\ NrRemote\

The base path for NewsRoom Standard 5 is:

C:\ProgramData\NewsRoom4\Users\ NewsRoomSA\

In the image below you can see that both programs have different home folders.
