To display this dialog box, on the PRO tab, select Options and then click Directories.
Use the Directory Preferences dialog box to control the default paths for opening from, saving to, and searching in directories.
Initial Directories for File Dialogs
Specify the paths MapInfo Pro should use as default for opening and saving Tables, Remote Tables, Workspaces, MapBasic Programs, Import Files, SQL Queries, Theme Templates, Saved Queries, NewGrids, Shapefile Tables, WFS, WMS and WMTS Tables. To set a path, click the file type, click Modify and select the appropriate path.
Workgroup Directory
Use when searching for application data files
Use this check box and field to indicate the location of shared application data files (such as custom symbols and templates) and some configuration files (such as the MAPINFOW.PRJ file). This field is for workgroup installation only, so if you need this field, it is probably already pre-filled with the correct location. If you need to change this location, simply type over the existing entry or use the Ellipsis button to navigate to the new location.
Search Directories for Tables
Specifies the directories MapInfo Pro is to search to find tables without fully qualified paths referenced in workspaces or MapBasic programs. Subdirectories of any search path listed are also searched. You can have up to four entries in the list. A more general path requires a longer search time. Click Modify, Add or Remove to edit the list of paths.
