Comment on APsit190's setup of the e-Sword folder on his additional drive.
With e-Sword for PC version 10.4 (July 2014), a New option User Files Location field in the Resources dialog (under the Options menu) was provided by the e-Sword for PC developer, Rick Meyers, for customizing where you wish for your user files to be located. This is very convenient for setting up with backup or synchronizing programs, such as Dropbox. Initially these files will still default to your "My Documents\e-Sword" directory, but now you can easily change that!
Microsoft changed the name of the user folder from "My Documents" to "Documents" in Windows Vista. The change was made to simplify the folder structure and make it more user-friendly. Since then, the folder has retained the name, "Documents" in all subsequent versions of Windows, including Windows 10. and Windows 11.
Because APsit190 places all his Topics Editor Files in the same folder as where the usual user has his e-Sword files in the directory folder at C:\Program Files (x86)\e-Sword\ [on a 64-bit operating system PC], the *.topx files used by APsit190 are able to be accessed by him all in the same folder.
If you, instead, have two different folders, and use the C:\Program Files (x86)\e-Sword\ folder for the e-Sword Resources Location, then the *.topx files that are there are to be read with the Reference Library option window. Then the personal *.topx files that you create with your Topics Editor, will be in your User Files Location. This is useful to remember, especially if you want to correct spelling and cross-reference hyperlink "tooltips" to Bible verses, in some of the older pre-2014 files provided from Bible Support in the .topx format, and to do that you need to place these .topx files in the User Files Location folder, so that you can access them with the Topics Editor..
Also remember that if you access your PC with a different user name, this can affect where the User Files Location for e-Sword is located, depending on which user name you used to set up the personal profile for that version of e-Sword.
