    CICS Explorer 111 now prompts for the location of the workspace on start up. You can choose to use the selected workspace and not be asked again.
    If you wish to restore the prompt having formerly suppressed it you can use the preferences to restore the prompt.

    So we are discussing the ability to re-direct the explorer workspace to a network drive. Do you want to be able to alter the default workspace for the explorer?

    Is it 'good enough' for the user to get a prompt for the workspace location when first running a new version of explorer?

    Does each user get their own network drive space?
