Setting the Active Preferences File

The Preferences dialog box Active Preferences tab specifies the current preferences file.

Selecting Use My Preferences indicates you are using and editing the preferences file located in your Profiles folder. Selecting Use Shared Preferences indicates you are using a shared preferences file at the specified repository location.

Note:

The default location for Shared Preferences files is in the User\<Profiles> folder.

Changing the Active Preference does not impact opened documents in the content area. User and shared preferences are only applied to subsequently created documents.

Upon editing shared preferences files, change the default behavior for users referencing that file. To prevent users from changing your preferences, restrict yourself to using your own preferences file.
