I re installed the Sentinel software for my Uniden hand held scanner. But now I get this message when I try to save my Favorites:
could not find path to D:\\FavoriteLists\f_list-cfg. So the Favorites that I have wont save and that section goes blank as though I never had Favorites.
I would think that since I downloaded a fresh program that this list would be included. How do I resolve

Sentinel does not create D:\\FavoriteLists\.

It would be more like C:\Users\YOUR PC NAME\Documents\Uniden\BCDx36HP

In Sentinel, under tools-options, what is the path to your Sentinel folder?

Do a search of your pc for those folders and note the directory path.

Thanks! I will keep your information for future use. What happened was weird: I deleted the Sentinel shortcut from my desktop. Then I reinstalled an older copy of Sentinel that I had elsewhere on my computer. Same thing happened. But then I replaced the shortcut from my Recycle Bin back to the desktop and all of a sudden it worked. I have no idea how that happened. By the way... that Favorites folder was in with the program, but I didnt open it. Could it have been blank all along, and when I reinstalled it then contained my favorites? That shortcut business is still a mystery to me.
