New 8.4 installs automatically connect to my test server

I had a test system with sample data running SERP 8.3, and it was listed on My Standard. I upgraded it to 8.4 to check that the upgrade process worked, and it did. I then logged in with my 8.3 Windows client and it auto-upgraded to 8.4. All good so far.

However, I have since downloaded the latest 8.4 Windows client, and installed it in a different folder. When I run Standard ERP from this folder, it automatically connects to my test server. It doesn't matter where I copy the folder to - if there is no HANSA.HDB, it doesn't give me the option to import sample data, connect to server etc., it just connects to my test server. How do I prevent this from happening?

So the mystandard have gotten a face lift. So when the backup is triggered, thats the time when a "snapshot" is taken from the system and written down to the backup (.TXT file)...
