Try to add the command "tbpath=f:\tb" after the command "wcrafty.exe" in the
prompt as shown below:

c:\>wcrafty.exe tbpath=f:\tb

It should work. Do not add it to your crafty.rc file, this make not work.
Alternatively, you may put it as option in your Winboard or Arena. The command
"egtb" must be in your crafty.rc file.
