    When launching ENVI or IDL on Windows, the application saves user configuration data in the following location:

    C:\Users\Username\.idl

    Can this default location be changed?

    The default location of the /.idl folder is in the user's home directory. However, this can be tweaked using the user environment variable "HOME". Set this equal to where ever you want /.idl to live.

    Once you relaunch the IDL workbench, the new folder will be generated in the location your HOME variable specifies.
