Can you force the path setting for the RealTempLog.csv file?
Below are several scenarios of the RTL file starting or appending in two other directories than the RT directory.
The improvement: Force the RTS file to start in only one directory and append the file as the RT program starts/stops/starts, at Task Scheduling (startup or login), or any tests using the RT program.
My reason is I am using Excel PowerPivot and have set up pivot tables and charts that when ‘refreshed’ by PowerPivot, updates the tables and charts from the RTL file. Having the files start, stop, appends at various directories makes is a pain to ‘refresh’. There are ways to work around the problems, which maintains the link to a single file. Mainly; copying the file to the linked directory. However there is no continuous logging, which make me copy and paste from each log to the linked file. If all three RTL files are involved, it is a pain.
Anyhow, it would be very beneficial to force only one directory for logging the RTL file.
Below is some scenarios that represent the issue, as well as the RealTemp.ini information. Attached is more information in a zipped PDF file.
BTW, the program is awesome as it stands and thanks for the work you all have done to make it so.

Here are the different scenarios regarding the directories, running ReatTemp (RT):
1. When starting RealTemp (RT) from the Task Scheduler at user login
a. RealTempLog.csv starts up in the Windows/SysWOW64 directory
b. Stopping RT, stops the log file in the Windows/SysWOW64 directory
c. Re-starting RT, starts a new RealTempLog.csv file in the RT directory
2. Stopping and starting RT after user login
a. Starts RealTempLog.csv file in the RT directory
b. Appends the log file with each start
3. Logging off while RT is still logging in the RT directory and then logging back on
a. RealTempLog starts logging in the Windows/SysWOW64 directory
b. The log file is appended at login time
c. The RealTempLog file in the RT directory stops logging at log-off time
4. Starting the XS Bench test
a. RTL continues to log in the directory that was logging at the time of starting XS Bench test
5. Starting the Sensor Test using Prime95 with the logging and log file at Windows/SysWOW64 directory
a. The RTL file closes in the Windows/SysWOW64 directory
b. The RTL file starts logging in the RT directory
c. The logging appends the RTL file
6. Starting the Sensor Test using Prime95 with the logging and log file at the RT directory
a. Closes the RTL file in the RT directory
b. Starts or appends the RTL file in the Prime95 directory
7. Starting the Sensor Test using Prime95 with the logging and log file at the Prime95 directory
a. Appends the RTL file at the Prime95 directory
