why does Microstation increment Pref folder?

Question

Does anyone know why when Microstation starts, it increments the 10.0.0 folder? 
 C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Local\Bentley\MicroStation 10.0.0 10.0.0_1 10.0.0_2 
 For the first time a user starts Microstation CE, we are wanting to pre-populate the Pref folders but it seems Microstation always wants to use it's own folder. 
 Thanks, 
 Regan

Hi rpsmith, I would recommend checking out this Wiki for guidance: https://communities.bentley.com/products/microstation/w/microstation__wiki/63856/how-to-reset-temp-folder-versions 
 From my testing, the 10.0.0_x folder will be created if the .txt file with random characters is not already in this directory: C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Bentley\MicroStation\10.0.0\
