Connect - Changing the location of the ucf file

Offline Mark Segelquist over 8 years ago

Has anyone tried changing the location of the ucf file for MS Connect. I have tried but it seems to get locked and you can't really see when it getting set and locked in the debug file.

_USTN_HOMEPREFS =X:/MyNewLocation/users/$(USERNAME)/prefs/

Note: it looks for a file named "personal.ucf" as well as other personal... files stored in the default prefs folder

I have already tried that and tried redefining _USTN_USERCFG but it moves everything but the ucf. The ucf will still write to the users appdata folder.

We have been putting the ucf on a network drive for a long time now and we like it that way. It's easier to check and manage, it's not buried 10 levels deep in some hidden folder and unique on every machine you may work on.
