Multiple Desktop Folders

You may have more than one RinkWriter® folder on your desktop.  

Each folder will contain its own set of data  (inside of the "app.pathRW02" folder).  

Each folder must have a unique name.  (Examples may be "Varsity" , "Junior Varsity", "Bantams", "Pee Wees", "Bantam A", "CIC", "West Regional", "Game 1", "Game 2", etc.).

  • Folders can be named after a scorekeeper, a tournament, or a team.  
  • To make additional folders:

    • Copy an existing folder
    • Paste it to your desktop
    • Rename the new folder

    Sample Folders:


All scorekeepers could use a single "RinkWriter" folder, but it works best to have multiple folders on your computer desktop.  

  • Several games can be set up ahead of time...one in each folder. 
  • This works well for tournaments.  
  • For high school games, you can create separate folders for your "JV" and "Varsity" games.
  • Separate folders can allow you to go back to edit a previous game.
  • You may create a new folder for each game of the season...optional.

A desktop "RinkWriter" folder (including the software & data) can be saved to a USB Flash/Thumb Drive.  From there, it can be transferred to other computers.
