The program settings for LANconfig are saved to the file 'lanconf.ini' located in the program directory when the program is ended. This includes, among others, the displayed devices, directory structure, selected language, etc. When the program is started, LANconfig reads this ini file and restores the previous state of the software. To save the ini file, the user needs a write authorization to the program directory.
As an alternative to the program directory, LANconfig can load the ini file with its program settings from another directory. This can be, for example, the current user's user directory, or any other storage location:
- By selecting the user directory, users can save their personal settings even if they don't have a write authorization for the program directory.
- Selecting an alternative storage location allows you, for example, to transfer program settings to any other LANconfig installation, or to save the settings to a central location in the network for use by multiple users.
You configure the location of the program settings in the dialog . Also see the chapter Application.
