Posts 2 		I am running Password Control on a shared drive that I want a number of users to use for resetting student passwords. The program works with no issues, except the configuration settings are not the ones that I have set in the shared folder. I read that after the first launch, the program reads the config file from the local profile, but I don't see any config files under the profile. I just need to know where on the workstation could I place the configuration file so that it is always the same for everyone. FYI, all of my users are running Windows 7. Thanks for your help!

There are two different types of settings stored in the config file - application and user. The application settings apply to all users of the application and you need to edit the config file for those settings to take effect. The user settings are generally configured within the application and they get saved in a user.config file in the AppData folder.

If you want to edit the application settings, you do so in the PasswordControl.exe.config file. You can edit the application settings here and you can also change the default settings for the user settings here. The user settings are located under the "<userSettings>" node and the application settings are located under the "<applicationSettings>". Any settings you change under the "<userSettings>" will only apply when a user is loading the application for the first time. After that, the settings will be loaded from the user.config file.

Hope this helps,

David
