Server Share with free access

You should be able to modify the access permissions to do this. This will not affect the operation of MinimServer or MinimWatch. The shared folder has the following purposes:

1) Keep all MinimServer log files and configuration files together in a single place
2) Retain these files after MinimServer is uninstalled
3) Make these files accessible for diagnostic and debugging purposes

So MinimWatch is not accessing files through this shared folder?
Then I don't understand what is the benefit of a shared folder. A local folder would work just as well for 1-3?
Can it be made optional then?
