Is there anyway we can get the Octane_node.cfg file to be referenced under our "User" directory instead of the root of C. That is a terrible place to put files IMO with User Access Control in newer os's.

I'm having a devil of a time updating the file to use or not to use both of my Titans in different occasions. I render and work on the same machine. So somedays I want one of my cards to be used by me and the other to be rendering on in the background.

Would be nice to have an easier place to put this file with write privelages. Win 10 does not allow the same "Run As Administrator" access to edit files that I can tell. I had a shortcut to the file that I RAN AS ADMIN on Win 8.1...would open make the change and then save. But 10 I'm not able to do the same so far. Pain...

You can put the file in the root directory of any drive (D:, E:, F:, G:, etc.) ... perhaps this could help.

Yes that would help. I have two other drives for assets and such. Thanks.
