Product: LABELVIEW, CODESOFT
Version: All Versions
If you have changed your Default Folder path to a custom directory and are now seeing the following error:
"You have an error with Default Folders. The <Default Folder (*extension type)> path is not valid."
This typically indicates one of the following:
- The folder permissions have changed and the current user no longer has access.
- The folder has been moved.
- The folder has been renamed.
- The folder has been deleted.
- The drive letter has changed (for example, T:\ to Z:\).
Below are the default folder paths created during a standard LABELVIEW installation:
- Documents: C:\Users\Public\Documents\Teklynx\LABELVIEW\Samples\Labels
- Images: C:\Users\Public\Documents\Teklynx\LABELVIEW\IMAGES
- Queries: C:\Users\Public\Documents\Teklynx\LABELVIEW\QUERY
- Describer: C:\Users\Public\Documents\Teklynx\LABELVIEW\DSC
- Print Files: C:\Users\Public\Documents\Teklynx\LABELVIEW\Print
- Shared Data Sources: C:\ProgramData\Teklynx\LABELVIEW\Globvar
- User Settings: C:\ProgramData\Teklynx\LABELVIEW
- Data: C:\Users\Public\Documents\Teklynx\LABELVIEW\Data
- Formulas: C:\Users\Public\Documents\Teklynx\LABELVIEW\Formulas
- OLEDB Connections: C:\ProgramData\Teklynx\LABELVIEW\DataLink
NOTE: This example uses LABELVIEW 2025 and CODESOFT 2025. Default folder paths are the same for CODESOFT. In versions prior to 2019, the folder name included the year (for example, LABELVIEW 2018). LABEL MATRIX uses a different interface but follows the same concept, typically using: C:\Users\Public\Documents\TKI\LABEL MATRIX.
IMPORTANT: It is strongly recommended not to modify paths within the ProgramData directory. These locations contain required system resources that the software depends on to function correctly.
