RE: Setting location of bib file

First of all, the pen must be mounted!

I usually put local disks in the low drive letters (c: - g:) , pens and such
in the middle letters (M:-S:), remote drives near the end (Z:).

Roughly, pens stick to the first drive they were mounted to, so if you
assign them middle letters, the collision with local and automatically
mounted net drives is less prone to occur.

This collision causes the infamous "my pen just vanished" complaint, when
you use different computers frequently. 

Cheers

Its not explicit that things get fixed, but if you right-click on a 
drive and choose "Change drive letter and path", the result will stick 
(unless you alter your hardware).

You may need to do a bit of shuffling - you can only change a drive to a 
letter that is not already assigned.  So often you have to first move 
something out of the way (say CD drive E: to Z:), then move what you 
want (say USB from F: to E:) before tidying up (Z: back to F: in my 
example).  That should stay true after rebooting, despite the now 
missing drive E: on start up.
