# PCGen Location Options

The Location menu option allows you to select the locations of:

- The Browser Path plus the option to clear it again. This is used to preview output sheets.
- The Character Directory. This is where the created PC files are stored.
- The Portraits Directory. This is where the .jpg or .gif files that correspond to the created PC files sit. They display in the Description tab and some output sheets.
- The Data Directory. This is where the list files for all available sources are located.
- The Custom Directory. This is where the list files for custom source files generated by the list editors are located.
- The Docs Directory. This is where these fantastic documents are located.
- The System Directory. This is where the game system files are located
- The option.ini Directory. This is where your selected preferences and filter settings are stored. You can select the PCGen Directory (will be overwritten by updates!), your Home Directory (so individual users of a shared PC can have a different set of preferences) or a selected directory.
