Problem

Out of the box the user preferences are stored on each machine. When users work on more than one machine their preferences are set differently on each machine.

Solution

Create a folder on the network for each user. Once the folders are created, point the MS_USERPREF variable to the user's directory followed by $(username).

The value of variable USERNAME will be defined by the user's Windows login name. (This can be displayed if not known by opening a Windows Command Window and entering the command 'Set'.)

Example:
MS_USERPREF = W:\Workspace\Prefs\$(USERNAME)

This folder and its contents must be read/write accessible.
