Issue:
How do I set default options for all users on a multi-user machine?

Resolution:

For ScenePD:
Set the permissions (see instructions below) on c:\windows\spdXde.ini so all users have Read and Write access.

Note: the X in "spdXde.ini" represents the version number of ScenePD. For example, the file for ScenePD version 4 would be "spd4de.ini". To determine the version number choose the Help->About menu item from within ScenePD.

For Easy Street Draw:
Set the permissions (see instructions below) on c:\windows\esdXde.ini so all users have Read and Write access.

Note: the X in "esdXde.ini" represents the version number of Easy Street Draw. For example, the file for Easy Street Draw version 4 would be "esd4de.ini". To determine the version number choose the Help->About menu item from within Easy Street Draw.

To change permissions on the file:

1. Log in as Administrator.
2. Use Windows Explorer to navigate to the C:\Windows folder.
3. Right click the .ini file referenced above for your version.
4. Select "Properties".
5. Click the Security tab.
6. Modify the Permissions check boxes to grant Read and Write access to the relevant users.
