Relocating 0.11 to Storage Card?

I tweaked the .11 version to run it from a Storage Card.  I relocated the files and updated all the references in the registry I could find.  I also reset the Base location in config.exe.  This seems to work ok, except that every time I turn on my PDA, I get a "Notification Error" that "/Program Files/Today Plus/TodayPlus.exe" can't be found.  The app still works after this message.

I can't find anything in the registry that points to the old directory, so I wonder if it's in the DLL?  If it's in the DLL, maybe it can be changed to a relative address, instead of a specific one.

I don't really know why the app needs to run TodayPlus.exe after the PDA wakes up.  Maybe it's checking to see what state it's in?

Has anybody successfully relocated the program to a Storage card?  What did you do differently?

You have a shorcut to todayplus.exe at /Windows/Startup

Nope, I already changed that shortcut to point to the storage card.  It seems to be somewhere else.

don't do a soft reset, as if you have a shortcut pointing to a storage card in the /Windows/Startup folder, it will cause the ppc to go into a soft-reset loop, and the only solution will be to do a hard-reset.

The procedure for moving stuff to other directories is as follows:

You should always install TodayPlus to the default location, and then you can move everything except TodayPlus.dll and TodayPlus.exe to any other location (and specify this new location using the base path button in the config). The .dll and .exe should always be in main memory
