Custom User Preference Directory

The default user preference directory is at C:/Users/<user>/Documents/houdinix.y, but you can change it by using system environment variables.

To make this a custom path, add a system environment variable:

Key Value
HOUDINI_USER_PREF_DIR C:\path\to\dir\houdini__HVER__

The houdini__HVER__ is important, as Houdini will replace __HVER__ at run-time with the version number, like 19.5.

After this environment variable is set, make sure

Houdini Launcher is restarted for the change to take effect.
