How does one change the sync library in Endnote X8?

Hello, 

What happens if you are prevented from following the RedEdit.exe instructions to try to edit the SyncLibraryPath and don’t have the ability to add a “new multi-string value” called SyncLibraryPath? Does anyone have any instructions they can provide i.e. to allow editing in RedEdit.exe while using a Windows 10 OS?

We had a student come to us with a Windows 10 operating system placed on a Lenovo Yoga. We found that the library (placed on the hard drive) was also automatically syncing to Outlook’s One Drive. We unchecked the automatic sync option, but also tried our best to change the SyncLibraryPath using the two methods described above. We also tried changing her permissions so that we could edit in RedEdit.exe but to no avail. Any ideas? We also deleted her Outlook email address and password details under the headings “Edit” > “Preferences” > “Sync” > “EndNote Account Credentials”

Many thanks.
