Need to move your Pro/Intralink workspace to another computer?  Here's a tip submitted by Natarajan Murali to do just that.  This is a tip primarily for those small companies using a small number of multi-use Windows based workstations.

(Disclaimer:  At Synthesis we don't use Intralink, so I haven't been able to validate these steps.  The tip sounds good, however, for those needing the function.  Questions or comments about this tip should be directed to kn_murali at postmaster.co.uk)

To transfer the workspace to another location or another machine, simply copy the .Proi folder onto the new location or machine – for this example, into D:\.

 
Next, (on Windows machines) change (or add) the appropriate Windows Environment Variable.  Depending on the version of Windows (these differ a lot) at the desktop use:

My Computer > Properties > Environment ...  (click for image)
     or
My Computer > Properties > Advanced > Environment Variables ...  (as below)
     or    something else ...
