Configure Notes 9 multi user data path to path like prior version

Hi,

in versions prior to Notes 9 multi-user, users' data directories were stored in

C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Lotus\Notes\Data.

As Notes has been rebranded as "IBM Notes", in Notes 9.0 and above, they are stored in

C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\IBM\Notes\Data

Is it possible to set the default multi user data direction path on a Lotus Notes 9.0 installation to:

C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Lotus\Notes\Data.

Thank you in advanced

Notes 9.x with legacy 8.5.x data paths
Hi John,

In Notes 9, if the following registry value is added, the user data path will be stored at C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Lotus\Notes\Data., instead of C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\IBM\Notes\Data

32bits:
HKLM\Software\Lotus\Notes\UseLegacyDataPath=1 (DWORD)

64bits:
HKLM\Software\Wow6432Node\Lotus\Notes\UseLegacyDataPath=1 (DWORD)

Ref: http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21635520

Thanks!
