So, i store and use clrmamepro from a network path. example, \\192.168.1.210\Tools\clrmamepro\

I've done this forever, and just updated to latest 4.040 and now it has this issue of the program creating the entire path and directory structure of itself under the folder. Basically causing issues for backups/downloads not to work, giving illegal path error messages when opening a profile, also backups don't work and just fail.

The behavior i'm seeing is either loading the .exe or loading a profile, it will create the entire structure of folders under itself as if the "ip" is a folder name...
example \\192.168.1.210\Tools\clrmamepro\192.168.1.210\Tools\clrmamepro\backups All the folders that is under it. They are all empty as well, but it shouldn't be creating the "ip" folder and entire structure of folders. I've tried creating a brand new folder, placing in the unzipped 4.040 and it still happens so whatever issue it is, is a part of the program. As you can see, it is recreating the entire path to it as folders under itself.

Hoping its a easy fix, and i can go back to using clrmamepro from a network path again on latest version.

the cmpro.ini looks correct, as it always has been setup this way, but the program will create blank folders under its root on the path of the entire structure.

Settings_BackupFolder = \\192.168.1.210\Tools\clrmamepro\backup\
Settings_DownloadFolder = \\192.168.1.210\Tools\clrmamepro\downloads\

I was able to test 4.038a and it does not have this issue. I tried 4.039a and the problem showed up, so whatever the bug is, it started with 4.039a and is also in 4.040. Besides the official release, i also tried the latest nightly build, still has this bug.

The changes from 4.038a to 4.039a should not affect anything like that at all...but I will have a look.
