Put Quicken Data Where It Belongs

By default, Intuit's Quicken personal-finance software stores your data file (usually qdata.qdf) in its program folder rather than with your other data files in My Documents (or wherever you store these files). The easiest way to fix this is to move the files. With Quicken closed, drag qdata.qdf, qdata.qel, qdata.qsd, and qdata.qph from their current location (probably either C:\quickenw or C:\Program Files\quickenw) to the folder you prefer. Then double-click qdata.qdf to open it in Quicken. Thenceforth, Quicken will look for the file in the new location each time you launch the program.
