Just out of curiosity... With sentinal open... What is it showing when you click on "Tools" and "Options".
Sentinal usually puts it's default folder (Uniden) in your Documents folder.

It shows the
C:\Users\slstd\OneDrive\Scanner audio Files\Uniden\BCDx36HP

It looks like your writing all your stuff to "One Drive".
Look for "Uniden" folder in your "Documents" folder on your computer. Thats where it should be pointing to.

If you need to pull the audio files you recorded from the scanner... Pull it from the audio file folder on the scanner itself in USB mass storage mode thru file explorer.

Did you click the Three dot's next to the path? So you can navigate to it

You can change it in Sentinel.

Click on the Tools drop-down menu.
On that menu, choose Options

Permissions on the default folder are messed up somehow. Fix the permissions and you don't have to make a new folder.

I see he shows an F: drive in his first post. If he moved his libraries from his C: drive and didn't do it properly that can cause problems too.

It's a drive on the cloud, so could be all sorts of security problems that Sentinel are not designed to handle.

Good point. Sentinel data should be on a local drive.

Thanks for the help everyone, as soon as I changed the Sentinel Icon and changed it to Run as Administrator I was able to change to the Uniden Directory everything is ok now. Thanks for Your help.
