Can't seem to add a dir to scripts.dir in sahi.properties file

Hi,
I'm brand-new to this so please be patient.
I'm setting up my sahi.properties file and I want to add a shared directory to the scripts.dir line, but it doesn't seem to make a difference. I've tried (I had to replace the sensitive stuff in the paths):
# dirs. Relative paths are relative to userdata dir. Separate directories with semi-colon
scripts.dir=scripts;\\abc\d e f\gh ij\Sahi scripts
I also tried double backslashes and quotes. That didn't work, so I tried something as simple as possible, but that didn't work either:
# dirs. Relative paths are relative to userdata dir. Separate directories with semi-colon
scripts.dir=scripts;C:\Users\b.thornton\Desktop
What am I missing?

Hi,
There are 2 properties files that Sahi uses. One is sahi/config/sahi.properties and the other is sahi/userdata/config/userdata.properties
Sahi looks for a property in userdata.properties, and if not found, looks for it in sahi.properties.
So, even though you changed sahi.properties, since scripts.dir is also mentioned in usedata.properties, it took the value from userdata.properties.
Change scripts.dir in sahi/usedata/config/userdata.properties, and Sahi will pick it correctly.
Note: Use double back slash for the address. Remove scripts and paste the address where you want to have your scripts directory
