Moving the OSCAR_CPAP_Data Directory
I have my OSCAR_CPAP_Data directory in my c:\xyz\ directory. I would like to move it to my D:\CPAP\ directory.
Same thing for my Sleepyhead SH_Data directory.
How do I tell Oscar to now look for its data in D:\CPAP?
I'd rather not have to uninstall Oscar.
Is there some configuration choice/registry/whatever change I can make? I didn't see anything in the menus, but such choices are getting harder and harder for me to find these days.

If it's midnight and a DME tells you it's dark outside, go and check it yourself.
RE: Moving the OSCAR_CPAP_Data Directory
The only place I can find to change the data directory is in the registry. I have several different versions of OSCAR and have different listings in the registry. I will use the name "OSCAR-Data" but your name may be different.
For OSCAR:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\OSCAR_Team\OSCAR-Data\Settings\AppData="Address of your data directory"
SleepyHead:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Jedimark\*SleepyHead-Testing\Settings\AppData="Address of your data directory"
*(Again, your name may be different)

Just thought I would give this a bump up. It is 7 years later and I had the exact same question. Thanks
RE: Moving the OSCAR_CPAP_Data Directory
I wanted to do exactly this today to free up the 6 gig on my main drive. Oscar 1.5.1 (today is Aug 8, 2024). I just changed the value in the registry and moved the folder, and everything works fine :
(I moved the entire contents of Documents\OSCAR_Data)
