We just updated to 04, and .swj files are generated every time I open something.  Can't seem to figure out how to turn them off, or have them sent to a specified folder.  Any ideas?

RE: .swj

Send to folder:
SolidWorks main menu, Tools, Options, System Options tab, File Locations, in the Show folders for: pick SolidWorks Journal File, and click Add.
No matter what I set it always goes to the Root on my C:\ drive.
The file keeps track of your keystrokes.
Good luck.

Thanks Fellas,
That did the trick.  One of the numerous tweaks I'm figuring out to get my 04 set-up like my 03! :)

RE: .swj

So, what are you going to do when SW2005 (or 2006 or whatever) comes out and the 2003 look-alike options go away?  My view is might as well get used to it now.
