Last opened DB in ZUP between NAV5 and NAV6

Hello all!

On my work I use NAV5. Recently I decided to learn NAV2009, so I installed it and started to explore it using sample CRONUS company.

Here is a problem: I open my work database in NAV5 and do some work, then I close NAV5 and start NAV2009 classic client (with SQL option). In ZUP file settings regarding last opened database are persistent between NAV5 and NAV2009, so everytime NAV2009 asks me whether I want to convert my last opened database (work database) into NAV2009 varsion. I have Admin rights on SQL server, so if only I click "OK" by mistake the work database would be converted. I don't like it at all.

How to change the directory for NAV2009 zup file, so it doesn't correlate with NAV5 zup file?
Or how to solve this problem in any other way?

Thanks in advance!

    in the shortcut to start your DB, use this string:
    C:\NAV\NAV_60_2_32228_W1\finsql.exe NTAUTHENTICATION=1, NETTYPE=TCP, servername=yourserver, database="YourDB", COMPANY="Your Company", ID=C:\DB\ZUP\yourzup.zup.
    If you create a shortcut like this for each database, it always opens that DB, that company using that zup-file.
