Two ways to accomplish this awgreig. You can select the All Items in System WatchList, then click WatchList | Copy to Other List | All Symbols. Then select Hard Drive Charts as the list to copy to. This will make your charts faster but will not copy the data for scanning purposes.

Alternatively, you can copy the User folder from the CD-ROM to your hard drive. You will then need to edit a registry setting so the program knows where to find the data. Click Start | Run and select C:\Program Files\TC2000\TC2000RegInfo.exe. The two entries you need to edit are Files\CDFiles and Files\CDHistory. Just double click to edit each and type in the path to where you copied the User folder. I've done this on my machine by copying the User folder to the C:\ drive so my registry settings are set to C:\User\Customer and C:\User\CDROM respectively.

With the second method, you will no longer need the CD-ROM at all.
