Windows 10, SAB 4.1.0

I've tried looking at the other posts on this subject but something isn't adding up.

My SAB runs like this:
"C:\Program Files\SABnzbd\SABnzbd.exe"
It is not installed as a service.

The only ini file is C:\Users\Ron\AppData\Local\sabnzbd\sabnzbd.ini

That ini file does not contain a parameter for the base folder. The base folder being used is: C:\Users\Ron

I would like to move the temp and completed download folders to my Synology network drive Z:\

How can I change the default base folder to a different location while keeping sabnzbd installed in Program Files?

... BUT ... don't put your Temporary Download Folder on your Synology. That will cause slowness and errors. Keep your Temporary Download Folder on your local C: disk.

The base folder is only used if you use relative paths, you can use specific paths anywhere just as Sander described. Then the base path isn't considered.
