using reports in data path for sage

I regularly need to re-install Sage and one of the defaults always catches me out.

We store all our reports and templates in the data path to help keep things together and make backups easier to deal with. The problem is that every time you install sage it defaults to reading those files from some other path (not sure where).

The setting for this is in;
Settings, Company Preferences,
Enter the password for the current user
Then go to the Reporting Tab, "Use Data Path for Reports".

Tick the box, hit ok

I don't think you need to log out and back in but it probably wouldn't hurt.
