Sentinel for the Home Patrolx

Welcome to the Sentinel for the Home Patrol 1 and 2 article. Please list tips, tricks, issues (and resolutions) here

Where Can I Get the Software?

Be sure Sentinel is not running.
In Windows Explorer, look for this folder on your computer: C:\Users\[YourUserName]\AppData\Local\Uniden
In that folder, you will see a sub-folder that begins with "HomePatrol_Sentinel.exe_Url_"
Delete that entire sub-folder (it contains the "user.config" file).... be sure you are deleting that specific folder.
Re-start Sentinel... When Sentinel starts, it will re-write a new folder to replace the one that you deleted, and a fresh "user.config" file will be in that folder. That folder does not get deleted when you un-install Sentinel, so if the "user.config" file in there is corrupted, it will still be there when you re-install Sentinel.
